Staff Appreciation
Hello, this year's employee appreciation BBQ falls on March 28 and 24, which is during Ramadan. I was wondering if we could consider selecting a date outside of Ramadan so Muslim employees can also attend. I also ask if we can consider having vegan and vegetarian items so the event is more inclusive.
Resolution/Notes
Thank you for your feedback. When selecting a date for the BBQ, many factors are considered, including religious holidays and observances. This process requires the coordination of many groups and individuals, as well as considering the availability of the venue. We apologize that this year's BBQ [April 2 for the Tempe and SkySong campuses] coincides with Ramadan. We will follow up with the groups and individuals responsible for planning these events to ensure they are especially careful and considerate when scheduling future dates.
Additionally, the Staff Council has ensured that vegan and vegetarian items are available at every BBQ.
