RE:  Religious Holy Days and the 1997-98 Academic Year

The UC Davis campus is a community that respects the religious beliefs of
all members of the community.  Each year I write to remind all members of
the UC Davis community of our commitment to avoid scheduling campuswide
events, retreats, and meetings that conflict with religious holy days.  The
precise dates of these holy days may vary from year to year, but they are
usually indicated in contemporary datebooks and calendars.

Throughout the academic year, I ask you to be mindful of the Academic
Senate resolution stating that "UC Davis seeks to accommodate any student
who, in observance of a religious creed, encounters an unavoidable conflict
with a test or examination schedule...."  That resolution may be found in
the 1997-98 UC Davis General Catalog on page 65.

I appreciate your cooperation and attention to this matter.

Larry N. Vanderhoef
Chancellor

97-124
