This book explores the discrepancies among what protections Title
IX provides to pregnant and parenting students, what colleges
communicate, and what pregnant and parenting students actually
experience. To actually protect pregnant and parenting students,
the authors argue that a school must provide multifaceted support
that is effectively communicated to an entire campus community,
including students who are parenting, who are pregnant, and who may
become pregnant. The first part of the book portrays the realities
of pregnancy and parenting in college. The chapters illuminate
related Title IX applications, population demographics, how
unplanned pregnancies in college occur, and physical and mental
health challenges that these students often experience. The authors
then discuss what compliance with Title IX legally entails and why
meeting it is often an afterthought. In the second half of the
book, the authors use mixed-methods research to map the compliance
landscapes of three schools in the southeast as examples: a large
state school, a mid-size private university, and a small private
college. Offering eye-opening interviews with pregnant and
parenting students, interdisciplinary research, and proposals for
multifaceted support and communication on college campuses, this
volume will engage students, scholars, and activists with an
interest in higher education administration, educational policy,
reproductive health, bioethics, gender studies, and rhetoric.
