That's standard policy at York and U of T. More interestingly, all
of York University, and the law school at U of T, are closed on
the first day of Rosh Hashanah and on Yom Kippur.
The feeling is that it doesn't make
a lot of sense running classes when a large proportion (1/3?) of
students will not be attending.

I usually work on December 25.
