Title IX and Parenting Rights

Title IX, a federal law that prohibits discrimination based on gender, protects the rights of pregnant and parenting students on college campuses, including breastfeeding parents.  Under Title IX, Palomar College must:

• Provide private, safe spaces for breastfeeding and pumping.
• Ensure students are allowed to take excused absences from class to breastfeed or pump.
• Prevent and investigate discrimination related to pregnancy and breastfeeding occurring in the educational environment.
