Georgetown University Law Center is facing scrutiny over its handling of a pregnant student’s request for exam accommodations.
Brittany Lovely, a second-year law student, is expecting her first child during the upcoming exam period and sought to take her exams either early or remotely. The university initially denied these requests, citing concerns about fairness among students.
Lovely described the situation as “extremely disrespectful” and felt that the university’s suggestion to bring her newborn to campus during exams so she could breastfeed her baby, with minimal recovery time, was unreasonable and insensitive.
A school leader also allegedly told her, “motherhood is not for the faint of heart.”
Sounds a lot like med school, or the lady who sewed to cancel student loan forgiveness. People suck.
Some people suck, definitely, but most people I’ve met in my life have been pretty good. The problem is that the sucky people are very determined to become powerful and inflict their suck on the rest of us.
