Georgetown University Law School allegedly denied a pregnant student accommodations to take an exam early and instead are forcing her to show up just days after she is expected to give birth.

Upon requesting to take the exam early or virtually from home, the school allegedly told 2L student Brittany Lovely it would be “inequitable to all the other non-birthing students in her class,” according to a petition circulated by classmates of the student. The university instead recommended Lovely bring her newborn to the exam, telling her “motherhood is not for the faint of heart.”

Georgetown Law has told a pregnant student whose baby is due during exams that she must take the test a few days postpartum, with baby in tow.

No early or remote exam since “it would be inequitable to all the other non-birthing students in her class.”https://t.co/1neZtHxaem

The professor of the class allegedly approved the accommodation but was overruled by the university, a Georgetown law student claimed in an X post.

Please sign, especially if you’re Georgetown-affiliated! Despite Brittany’s professor agreeing to let her take her exam early, Georgetown denied her accommodations. This is also a routine experience for disabled students at Georgetown — completely unacceptable. https://t.co/BMKw1JqTFQ

“As students in training for a career in law, we agree that it violates her lawful rights under Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972,” the petition reads. “The accommodations Brittany requested (taking the exam early when the finals period begins and/or from home just days after giving birth) are reasonable and are not in any way inequitable, nor do they harm my education at Georgetown.”

Georgetown Law did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
