Your point is well taken, but should TAPPS take that position? Are they interested in their convenience or full participation by ALL the students?
As I said, I can see both points. but maybe TAPPS shouldn't have made that proclamation in the first place.
Put yourself in the place of the students. They want to compete, but have religious commitment. Are you saying that TAPPS should force them to compromise their religious beliefs and practices on TAPPS terms? Cmon now, isn't it really that TAPPS just doesn't want to be bothered, that adjusting the schedule might take a little extra work?
