Pregnancy and Parenting Support

第九条 protects students and employees from discrimination based on pregnancy and pregnancy-related conditions. The university will provide reasonable accomodations for pregnant and lactating students and employees.

Academic Supportive Measures

Students who are pregnant or have recently given birth may request academic supportive meassures from the 第九条 and Gender Equity 办公室. When a request for academic measures is submitted by a student, the 第九条 and Gender Equity 办公室 will work closely with the Accesible 教育 Center (AEC) to ensure the provision of reasonable and appropriate academic measures.

Academic measures may include, but are not limited to: making up assignments that were missed due to a pregnancy-related reason, allowances for the pregnant student's health and safety (e.g. maintaining a safe distance from hazardous substances), excused absences for medically necessary reasons, withdrawal from an educational program, and/or a leave 缺席的. Students who are not the birth-parent can also take a leave 缺席的. 

For more information regarding academic supportive measures for pregnant and parenting students, please refer to California Assembly Bill 809.

Lactation Accommodations

Adequate break time for breastfeeding or lactating employees 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 breastfeeding supplies, as well as expressing or storing 牛奶. Requests should be made to managers for adequate break time.

While students should breastfeed or pump between classes if possible, reasonable academic supportive measures will be provided to ensure that students do not incur an academic penalty due to expressing 牛奶 or breastfeeding. Requests for reasonable academic supportive measures can be made to faculty members or the 第九条 and Gender Equity 办公室.

菠菜网lol正规平台 is committed to supporting faculty, staff, and students who need to either breastfeed or express 牛奶 for their child on campus during hours of operation, by providing lactation stations, adequate break time for employees to breastfeed or express 牛奶, and information to students & employees regarding their rights and the locations of 哺乳期的房间.
