New E&I Podcast 🎙️
Pregnancy Protections on Campus: Title IX, Title VII, the ADA, the PFWA, and Student-Athlete Protections

E&I Host:
Dennis Hyde, Category Marketing Manager, E&I Cooperative Services

Guest:
James Nussbaum, Partner at Church Church Hittle + Antrim
Jodie Ferise, Partner at Church Church Hittle + Antrim

In this episode, Dennis Hyde sits down with legal counsel from the Higher Education Practice Group at Church Church Hittle + Antrim (CCHA) to explore the legal landscape surrounding federal regulations aimed at preventing sex-based discrimination on college campuses. A key focus of the discussion is the growing impact of pregnancy and pregnancy-related conditions in higher education settings.            

In this podcast, the two Partners at CCHA discuss laws and regulations that apply to pregnancy on campus, what the compliance mechanisms are for those laws, the unique challenges of pregnant student-athletes, and practical advice for universities.              

Finally, the episode highlights how laws that apply to pregnancy on campus are unique. The podcast details what constitutes a "pregnancy-related condition," and how institutions can ensure compliance. The conversation also highlights how the Biden administration’s approach to Title IX enforcement on pregnancy differs from that of the Trump era.
