Hi
York U in Toronto has been undergoing considerable discussion around the
Jewish holidays, brought on at least in part by a lawsuit initiated by a
faculty member. See:

Chris G. might have more to offer?
Take care
Jim

I would say yes, though those who disagree can point to Christmas as a
Christian holiday (but I think if they are to be consistent, then they would
have to rule that out since it isn't granted as a religious holiday but a
secular one more in line with Coke than Jesus).
At York I do remember the 'special arrangements' for Jewish students but not
for any other. Again, some may say that if you have a special religious need
you may also be able to be accommodated, but it does seem that the
recognized system level one is Jewish.

It seems that Deans and other administrative officials are always sending
memos to faculty
to be cognizant of Jewish holidays and allow
Jewish students to be excused from classes and
make provisions for make-up for those students.
I am not aware of ever receiving a memo re
Islamic students (Ramadan),or Haitian students(Voodoo),Afro-Cubans
(Santeria) and Brazilians
(Condomble).
Send me something.
