The University of New Haven, embodying a culturally and spiritually diverse community, recognizes that certain members of the University community may participate or observe practices that preclude them from attending to their regular duties whether as faculty members of students. On the occasions of such days, it is important for those of us who do not share in these same practices to accomodate their colleagues and peers.
