Employee Resources

All University employees are Mandatory Reporters also known as Responsible Employees. A Mandatory Reporter is someone who is required to report a Title IX Violation, including all details that they possess and the names of the involved parties.

The only employees exempt from mandatory reporting are professional counselors, medical providers, and associated staff when working in their professional role.

Information About Supporting Pregnancy, Nursing & Parenting Students

• Title IX regulations prohibit discrimination on the basis of pregnancy and parental status in educational programs and activities
• The University MUST:
  • Excuse absences due to pregnancy or childbirth for as long as your doctor says it is necessary
  • Allow students to return to the same academic and extracurricular status as before medical leave began, which should include giving the opportunity to make up any work missed while the student was out.
  • Ensure that faculty and staff understand the Title IX requirements related to excused absences/medical leave. Faculty may not refuse to allow a student to submit work after missed deadline because of pregnancy or childbirth. If the professor's grading is based in part on class participation or attendance and a student missed class because of pregnancy or childbirth, the student should be allowed to make up the participation or attendance credits they didn’t have the chance to earn.
  • Provide pregnant students with the same special services it provides to students with temporary medical conditions. This includes homebound instruction/at-home tutoring/independent study.
• Please encourage your students to contact our office for additional pregnancy and parenting support and resources!
