HUNTER COLLEGE — The City University of New York will designate Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Lunar New Year and Diwali as holidays on its official school calendar, CUNY Chancellor Félix V. Matos Rodríguez announced on Feb. 14.
Beginning in the Spring 2025 semester, students will have time off from school in observance of these holidays celebrated by different Asian diasporic groups, a move that aligns CUNY with other public schools across New York City for the first time.
