Re: Pregnancy forms

If they asked, I'd advice them to consult their lawyer and I'd stay
entirely out of the situation, since it is not a radiation safety
issue.  However, If I was an employee of the college, I'd recommend
the college consult with their lawyers over the form and review the
case law (include Johnson Controls), since a lawsuit could be a major
liability.
