VII. Lactation Accommodations
The University and GEO have a mutual interest in increasing the quality and accessibility of spaces made available for expressing milk on campus (i.e. personal rooms, etc.). In pursuit of this goal, the University’s Work/Life Resource Center is in the process of auditing current and potentially available spaces and is working individually with building/facility managers to support development of new spaces. The University acknowledges the importance of having available space for the purpose of expressing milk on campus and will make reasonable efforts to meet the following guidelines for appropriate space as referenced in Article XXI, Section N. by September 2012.
The designated campus spaces will be shielded from view and free from intrusion from coworkers and the public. A bathroom, even if private, is not a permanent permissible location. The location must be functional as a space for expressing breast milk. If the space is not dedicated to nursing mothers’ use, it must be available to nursing mothers when needed.
If an Employee is not able to locate available space for expressing milk on campus, she can contact Academic Human Resources at 734-763-8938.
