Columbus Day
By Sarah Doiron on October 16, 2014

- “I’m fine with it. I feel like since we had Yom Kippur off we don’t really need Columbus day off. It’s like give and take almost. But while I am fine with it, I feel like most students feel we should have it off because other colleges have it off and it is unfair.” -Sean Davis sophomore
-
- “I feel we should have it off because some of my friends who also go to private universities also have it off so it is unfair. I think we should have Columbus Day off and not Yom Kippur because most people are off on Columbus day who don’t go to Quinnipiac.” -Michelle Dash freshman
-
- “I am happy with it because QU is named after a Native American tribe and because we are on Native American ground, so much of our school’s culture is taken from Native American heritage. It’s important for our university to not have it off. Columbus day is important for America but it is insensitive for a private university named after a Native tribe to have the day off.” -Alex Danieli, sophomore
-
- “I didn’t really mind it. I don’t know anyone who had a big issue with having it off because a lot of colleges around here don’t have Columbus day off either so it’s not a big deal.” -Brianna Thompson junior
