The Office for Equal Opportunity and Civil Rights issued a statement Jan. 18 announcing the University will be providing academic accommodations for Muslim students observing Ramadan during finals period this semester.
The statement advises faculty to “anticipate receiving requests for religious accommodations” from their students and to approve “reasonable” requests.
The start of Ramadan on May 6 will coincide with the University exam schedule, which begins May 2 and ends May 10.
The statement instructs faculty to be mindful of Muslim students' requests for religious accommodation in the form of rescheduling final exams.
