Important Religious Holidays:
It is important to remember our faculty, staff and students are from varied religious and cultural backgrounds which serve to enrich and strengthen our community. Any event scheduled on a major religious or cultural holiday can send a message of insensitivity or exclusivity to staff and students who cannot participate that day due to their religious beliefs. Staff should avoid scheduling important meetings, exams, or other essential events on such dates whenever possible and accommodate the observance of religious traditions for staff and students who need to be absent for religious holidays throughout the year.
