政策声明

康考迪亚大学., 以下简称康科迪亚或CU, is committed to creating and maintaining a community where all individuals enjoy freedom from discrimination, 包括 discrimination on the basis of sex as mandated by 第九条 of the Education Amendments of 1972. 为了全面了解康考迪亚大学关于性别歧视的政策,请访问上文所述的大学第九条网站.

性别歧视, 其中包括基于怀孕的歧视, 婚姻状况, 或者父母身份, 是被禁止和非法入场的吗, 教育项目和活动, 招聘, 离开政策, 就业政策和医疗保险. 大学特此制定一项政策和相关程序,以确保对怀孕个人的保护和平等待遇, 有妊娠相关疾病的人, 新晋父母.

根据教育部(DOE)第九条规定, an institution that receives federal funding "shall not discriminate against any student, 或将任何学生排除在其教育计划或活动之外, 包括任何课堂或课外活动, 基于这样的学生怀孕, 分娩, 假怀孕, 终止妊娠, 或者从中恢复.根据美国能源部的说法, 对怀孕学生的适当治疗包括允许学生"在其医生认为医学上必要的时间内"请假," and then effectively reinstating the student to the same status as was held when the leave began.

This generally means that pregnant students should be treated by Concordia the same way as someone who has a temporary disability, 并有机会尽可能补课. 延长期限,补交作业(如.g., 论文, 小测验, 测试, 和演示), 辅导, 独立学习, 在线课程完成选项, 和不完整的成绩,可以在以后完成, 都应该被雇用吗?, in addition to any other ergonomic and assistive supports typically provided by Accessibility Services. 尽可能地, 康考迪亚将采取合理的措施,以确保怀孕的学生谁休病假或病假返回到相同的位置,他们在学术进步,当他们在休假, 包括访问与休假开始时相同的课程目录. The 第九条 Coordinator has the authority to determine that such accommodations are necessary and appropriate, and to inform 教师 members of the need to adjust academic parameters accordingly.

和无障碍设施一样, 有关怀孕学生的住宿要求的信息将与教师和工作人员共享,只有在必要的程度上,以提供合理的住宿. 教职员工将把与此类请求相关的所有信息视为私人信息,除非必要,否则不会披露这些信息. Administrative responsibility for these accommodations lies with the 第九条 Coordinator, 谁将保存所有与住宿有关的适当文件. 第九条协调员有权与康考迪亚无障碍办公室分享本文件,并与该办公室合作.

在诸如临床轮转的情况下, 表演, 实验室, 还有小组作业, the institution will work with the student to devise an alternative path to completion, 如果可能的话. 在渐进式课程和/或群体模式项目中, medically necessary leaves are sufficient cause to permit the student to shift course order, 替代同类课程, 或者在休假归来后加入下一个群体, 如果可能的话.

鼓励学生与他们的教师和康考迪亚的支持系统合作,制定一个计划,如何最好地解决怀孕过程中的情况, 预计需要树叶, 尽量减少他们缺席对学术的影响, 尽可能高效舒适地回到正轨. 第九条协调员将根据需要协助计划的制定和实施,并在适当的时候与大学无障碍办公室协商.
