I attend university at Kennesaw State University in Georgia, USA and as secular as the United States is they do not even try this type of foolishness. Students here graduate on business days throughout the week. I am not saying UTech needs to follow the model or the University systems of Georgia in the USA oh no no. What I am saying is the UTech need fi tek di stick weh bruk ina dem ears and listen to the people who pay all this money just to collect a receipt called a college degree. UTech need fi cut dem fk. Pardon my patois.

Sincerely,
Yaadman Etan.

Imagine wanting the support of family and friends who have been with you throughout the 4 and even 6 years for some and they can't because they too observe the 7th day Sabbath. I encourage earnest effort in having this fixed.
