Hi Emily, The University of Texas at Austin does not have an adopted policy on the issue of lactation support, however our Human Resources Department hosts a webpage<https://www.utexas.edu/hr/current/services/lactation_quiet_room.html> that describes the support given to our nursing mothers. If a policy were to be adopted, I could see it falling under our Human Resources policy portfolio.

Hello All, Clemson University is in the early stages of developing a Lactation Support policy. If your institution has a lactation support policy, we would appreciate some feedback on a few points: * What area of the institution is responsible for the policy, including development, compliance and maintenance? I can see a case for either Human Resources or Access and Equity, and I'd like to know where others see it fitting best. Or some other area? * Is lactation support considered a benefit, an accommodation or something else in terms of how it is addressed in your policy? * What are the repercussions to a supervisor for not complying with the policy? Is it considered a disciplinary issue or a matter of discrimination?
