In a groundbreaking move aimed at fostering diversity and inclusion, the City University of New York (CUNY) has become one of the first universities in the nation to designate Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Lunar New Year, and Diwali as official holidays on its academic calendar. This decision comes following a vote by the CUNY Board of Trustees, announced today by CUNY Chancellor Félix V. Matos Rodríguez.
