From Ablution to Accepting – How Religious Accommodation Benefits The University Community

In the 90's there was a surge of acceptance for gender, racial, and sexual differences that drew its roots from previous generations. Religious differences, albeit a social decision and not physical reality, is a new contention line students and faculty differ over. Eboo Patel, and myself, believe that religious accommodation and acceptance is an opportunity that has been, and should be continued to be, promoted. By accepting our ideological differences, we gain to learn very much from each side. By facilitating faith based needs, we facilitate the loyalty and comfort of religious students in a secular school. We strengthen the bonds of the University community to deeper roots, and therefore our graduates are able to go to society and connect bridges with communities that they have learned about, here in University.
