A short article from the Chronicle of Higher Education about the Nurturing Network and other efforts to help pregnant college students:

Mary Cunningham Agee, founder of the Nurturing Network, a private foundation that provides financial assistance and academic guidance to women who have unplanned pregnancies, says Roman Catholic institutions are generally the "most forward-thinking and accommodating" places for students with children.

Ms. Agee has helped hundreds of such students transfer to Catholic colleges from secular or evangelical institutions. Some religious colleges — particularly those where students sign a code of conduct that forbids them to have premarital sex — expel students who become pregnant.
