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.”

    Maybe don’t try to have a kid while going to law school, or any higher education for that matter.

      Why not just say it with your chest and call her a whore?

      That’s what you’re really implying, yes? How dare she besmirch the dignity of…law school, an institution that historically has only served to preserve the wealth and privilege of landed white men.
