Resources for Lactating and Breastfeeding Parents
CSUDH is committed to serving faculty, staff, and students who need to either breastfeed or express milk for their child while on campus, and has several private, lockable lactation rooms on campus. For more information about the CSUDH's support of lactating and breastfeeding Toros, please see PM 2018-03: CSUDH's Policy on Lactation and Breastfeeding Accommodations.
Locations of Lactation Stations:
Lactation Stations are private spaces on campus that can be used by breastfeeding or lactating students and employees. At a minimum, lactation stations are private, including a lockable door that is shielded from the view of co-workers, classmates, and the public with a message on the door that it is in use. Stations are sanitary, not in a bathroom or toilet stall, equipped with a chair and table, and supplied with electrical outlets.

Adequate Break Time and Accommodations:
Adequate break time for breastfeeding or lactating university employees will be provided and should accommodate the time to walk to and from the lactation station as well as retrieve, set up, wash, and clean a pump or other supplies for breastfeeding, expressing or storing milk, consistent with California State University Technical Letter HR/Salary 2011-05. Requests should be made to managers for adequate break time.
While students should breastfeed or pump between classes if possible, reasonable academic accommodations will be provided to ensure that students do not incur an academic penalty due to expressing milk or breastfeeding. Requests for reasonable academic accommodations can be made to faculty members.
Support for Lactating and Breastfeeding Parents:
CSUDH also recognizes that parents have the right to breastfeed wherever children are allowed to be on campus. Discrimination, harassment, and retaliation against lactating parents will not be tolerated. To inquire about this or make a complaint, students and employees may contact the CSUDH Title IX Office via email at TitleIXOffice@csudh.edu or phone at (310) 243-1025.
For accommodation requests under the Americans with Disability Act (ADA), students may call the Student disAbility Resource Center at (310) 243-3660; employees may call Human Resources Management at (310) 243-3771.
