Harvard must give a breastfeeding mother enough break time to express milk and/or breastfeed her daughter during her nine-hour medical licensing exam. See the story here:
Breastfeeding mom wins appellate case
Note that Harvard, which one would think has had enough trouble with sexism, plans to appeal the ruling. Harvard won in the lower court, so who knows what the highest court will do? Imagine the precedent that this could set: companies may need to accommodate breastfeeding mothers with time and space to pump milk, for example. Maybe American women (finally) would breastfeed for the recommended minimum of one year...
Shame on you, Harvard, for appealing the ruling. Shame on you, Harvard, for making the same mistake twice.
