Policy With Regard to Students Who Are Breastfeeding

In recognition of the importance and benefits of breastfeeding for mothers and infants and in compliance with state and federal law, CUNY supports the rights of nursing mothers at school and in the workplace. CUNY and the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism are dedicated to making its best effort to accommodate requests from nursing mothers for break time and a private space to express milk on campus.

The Newmark J-School has identified the printer/pantry room in the 3rd floor Office of Admissions and Student Affairs, and the 14th-floor Server Room as reasonable accommodations for mothers. Please note that the door may be shut, and a sign posted to insure privacy. This room will be made available to students based on availability, on a first-come, first-served basis.
