The Rectorate wishes to clarify without ever explicitly naming the Office of the Protection of the Citizen (OPC) yet at the origin of this debate, that "the State University of Haiti remains a secular space, respectful of beliefs and religious orientations of everyone. The UEH, as an institution, is not linked to any religious denomination. The respect for the freedom of worship of which our Constitution speaks does not mean that the UEH must comply with the norms or rules set by a particular religious sect. The institution advocates, academic freedom and scientific research.
The Rectorate also wishes to point out that admission competitions are traditionally held during the weekend, as adequate spaces for academic and security reasons are available only on weekends. At the same time, lessons are given at the UEH from Monday to Saturday, or even Sunday, depending on the load of the schedules and the academic requirements of certain entities. Internships and some essential practical work are often held during the weekend, depending on the opportunities.
If one had to take into account each religious confession, no day of the week would be suitable for the organization of competitions [...]"
