Dive Brief:

• A St. Louis-area chiropractic college has agreed to rescind two failing grades a woman received while recovering from a difficult childbirth.
• A complaint had been filed with the federal Department of Education against Logan College of Chiropractic/University Programs.
• The school will change its policies on absences created by medically necessary treatments during pregnancy.

Dive Insight:

The initial complaint said the school discriminated against the woman by not excusing her pregnancy-related absences and not allowing missed work to be made up. The student said she tried to return to class too early after giving birth in an effort to avoid the failing grades, but still was penalized.
