On days when faith and school collide, Sana Khan of Raleigh has learned to compromise.
Though the UNC-Chapel Hill senior would prefer no distractions on Eid al-Fitr, a Muslim holy day marking the end of Ramadan, a lecture or exam may beckon.
“You have to weigh the pros and cons of missing class,” said Khan, president of the campus Muslim Students Association. “We’ll go to prayer in the morning and back to class in the afternoon.”
A new state law may ease Khan’s predicament.
