Students who are pregnant or who have related conditions (including pregnancy, childbirth, termination of pregnancy, lactation, recovery from any of these, or medical conditions related to any of these) have rights under Title IX. Discrimination or harassment based on current, potential, or past pregnancy or related conditions is prohibited.
Students may request a reasonable modification, if needed, to continue to access their education program or activity, and can access lactation spaces. Requests for reasonable modification can be directed to the Title IX Coordinator at hroffice@bigbend.edu or Accommodation & Accessibility Services (AAS) at 509-793-2027 or via email at AAS@bigbend.edu.
Students who are experiencing sex discrimination or sex-based harassment due to pregnancy or related conditions can seek supportive measures or engage in the college’s grievance process by contacting the Title IX Coordinator.
The BBCC Title IX Coordinator is responsible for ensuring students have equal access to education programs or activities and coordinating specific actions to prevent sex discrimination. The contact information for the BBCC Title IX Coordinator is below:
