Lactation Accommodation
The вÊÍø is committed to providing a family friendly work and learning environment by helping employees and students achieve success at work and school, and in their personal lives. In keeping with that commitment and in compliance with federal and state law, the University supports a nursing mother’s need to express milk for her infant child while working or learning at вÊÍø. Colleagues, management and teaching faculty are encouraged to be accepting and supportive of nursing mothers.
The University provides private locations (not toilet stalls) where a student or an employee can pump breast milk. For questions regarding the location and scheduling of lactation rooms, contact the Recreation, Fitness and Wellness Center, the University Health Center, or Human Resources.
