Respect Religious Needs
A few short weeks ago, I was forced to make the most difficult decision of my time at Dartmouth. Upon realizing that two of my exams for a certain course would conflict with the Jewish holidays, I wrote the professor to explain the situation and to request an alternate test date. I was confident that the professor would respond positively -- as had all of my professors during my freshman year. However, this professor did not immediately grant my request, and instead went to his supervisor in order to determine whether or not it was necessary to grant such an accommodation on religious grounds.
