Washington: New state law requires professors reschedule exams for fasting Muslims


The state of Washington recently passed a law that requires professors to accommodate students observing religious holidays, such as fasting for Ramadan.

Under the new law, public colleges and universities in the Evergreen state must accommodate students who, “due to the observance of religious holidays, expect to be absent or endure a significant hardship during certain days of the course or program.” Reasonable accommodations spelled out in the legislation include rescheduling exams or activities.

Students seeking such accommodations must provide written notice to professors within the first two weeks of class, the law adds. Professors must also mention the availability of such accommodations on their syllabi.

Surely this runs afoul of the separation of church and state since it is for muslims only. :wtf:  I'll bet no politicians see it that way, though. :pondering:

As one who does "One Meal A Day", I can assure you, it's not really a "hardship".

Where does it say it’s limited to Muslims?

I do the same...it's no biggie. In fact at one time I did a true fast for a day...also no biggie.
