Belmont University College of Law has issued an apology one month after four past and present female students claimed the law school’s attendance policy discriminated against pregnant women. Interviews with the group of women claiming the school treated them unfairly during pregnancy were published in Belmont’s student-run newspaper, The Vision, in December and prompted an investigation by the university’s Title IX Office. In a statement, the school said the investigation found no discriminatory or illegal practices, but still apologized for any “misunderstandings” and said it would take steps to clarify how pregnant students can obtain pregnancy-related accommodations. The Vision has the full story and statement.
