Hinds Community College failed to provide a pregnant student with proper accommodations and course adjustments, a federal report says.
Hinds Community College treatment of pregnant student violated Title IX, feds say by Molly Minta, Mississippi Today April 18, 2024 Mississippi’s largest community college violated Title IX when it failed to provide a pregnant student with proper accommodations and course adjustments, resulting in the student failing the semester, a federal civil rights agency said last week.
Though these students are more likely to have higher grades than students who are not parents, they can struggle to graduate on time due largely to a lack of childcare and financial support. In the Hinds’ student’s case, the college’s treatment of her was “humiliating and degrading,” according to the federal government.
