Ramadan 2023: Faculty, Staff Awareness regarding Fasting Students

With only 11 more days left in Ramadan, this message is a reminder to all faculty and staff members to be mindful and aware that the vast majority of Muslim students on campus are fasting (no food or drink from before sunrise till sunset). Students might be tired, so kindly allow them some consideration or leeway, as needed, with their coursework, submissions, tests, quizzes, and so on. Kindly mention your awareness in class, as many Muslim students do not have "obvious" Muslim-sounding names, and to know that they have the help and support of their teachers would mean a lot to them.

Please visit the Equity and Campus Diversity website to read the Policy on Discrimination Based on Religion.

Thank you.
