“But this year the university said there was nothing they could do. They have not been able to do anything for students observing Ramadan.”
As a result, the students have had to delay sitting the exam until August, when retakes are held.
“But that disadvantages them because retake marks are likely to be capped — and if they fail, they won’t get a chance to sit the exam again.”
In contrast, universities such as City and King’s in London had been “excellent” in accommodating the needs of religious Jewish students, Ms Dunoff said.
