Yale University strives to promote a welcoming environment for pregnant and parenting individuals. The Title IX Office and Deputy Title IX Coordinators address concerns about discrimination related to these statuses and offer services to pregnant and parenting individuals. If you have concerns about discrimination based on pregnant or parenting status, please reach out to a Deputy Title IX Coordinator.
For pregnant individuals without medical complications who are interested in discussing accommodations that may be available, students may contact a Deputy Title IX Coordinator and employees may contact their supervisor and/or Human Resources representative. Pregnant individuals with medical complications or who are experiencing related medical conditions may contact Student Accessibility Services (students) or the Office of Institutional Equity and Accessibility (staff and faculty).
