In that connection, I should point out that according to several schools of Islamic law which are followed by many of our Muslim students, attendance at the Friday congregational prayers is a required religious duty. Deans and Department Chairs are asked to see that this information reaches our adjunct faculty and all newly hired faculty who may arrive on campus after the distribution of this memo. Thank you for your compliance with this policy. The administration has accepted a resolution of the Faculty Senate regarding the accommodation of the obligations of religiously observant students and faculty. In keeping with the Senate Resolution, the administration has compiled the following schedule of religious holidays most frequently observed by our students.
All Jewish holidays begin at sunset the day before the holiday.
