University Lactation Policy

[Jennifer Bleaux]

The Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion would like to remind everyone
that the annual Title IX and Sexual Harassment Prevention Training is
available through SafeColleges. Everyone should have previously received an
announcement and reminder about this training through email. The training
must be completed no later than January 31, 2024. We appreciate everyone's
assistance in helping to keep our community informed and safe. Please
remind your colleagues and those whom you supervise. If you have questions
or concerns, feel free to contact the Office of Diversity, Equity and
Inclusion, Human Resource Services, or Lauren Currie, SUNY Plattsburgh
Internal Control and Risk Management Officer.

One new thing that you will find about the Title IX online training is the
new university Lactation Policy has been added for your review. You can
also access the policy by clicking here.

Thanks
to all of the university stakeholders who offered suggestions to make this
policy stronger. We are also excited to announce that through a grant made
possible by the Clinton County Health Department in collaboration with
Nursing, the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Human Resource
Services, Dean of Students and several other departments, we have launched
our very first three lactation spaces on campus. Lactation spaces are
available in Redcay - Room 155D, Angell College Center - Meeting Room #7,
and Sibley Hall - Room 101.

Our committee will continue to work with external and internal offices and
departments, and we hope to share news in the future about incorporating
lactation pods on campus as well as the pods that will be incorporated into
Disability Services. All resources are available to students, employees,
and community members visiting campus. Note that the spaces are open when
the buildings are open.

For more information, please feel free to reach out to the Office of
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at diversity at plattsburgh.edu.
