As you know, the University is committed to recognizing and appreciating diversity in its community. Our Diversity Statement articulates our commitment: Loyola values the benefits in diversity and is committed to creating a community that recognizes the inherent value and dignity of each person. As a community, the University actively promotes an awareness of and sensitivity toward differences of race, gender, ethnicity, national origin, culture, sexual orientation, religion, age, and disabilities among students, faculty, administrators, and staff.
In keeping with our values and core Jesuit principles, we remind you that one aspect of diversity respected on campus is religious diversity. You will find a list of major religious holidays and celebrations for July 2011 through August 2012. You may want to be particularly mindful of student assignments (examinations, papers, presentations) scheduled for any ays that require students to abstain from work-related activities (marked with an asterisk). You may be asked to make a reasonable accommodation or reschedule assignments because of a student’s religious beliefs and activities. The office of academic affairs and diversity can provide guidance and support if a student requests an accommodation for religious observances. Please contact the office at 410-617-2988.
