Belmont University College of Law has issued a statement following an article from the University’s student-run newspaper, the Vision, featuring the stories of four past and present female students who say they were treated unfairly by the law school during pregnancy. In the statement published on the Vision's website, Belmont says certain allegations made in the original article don’t “align with the student-centered values with which our law school strives to operate.” The school also referred to its handbook, which states that any pregnant student or new mother with health issues should contact the associate dean for academic affairs who, if possible, will work with them on making up missed classroom time. The Vision spoke again with the women interviewed and all four stood by their stories.
