ABSTRACT
This chapter confronts the challenges posed by increasing religious diversity on college campuses by addressing what religious minority students need to comfortably practice their faith on campus. It discusses the availability of interfaith prayer/meditation rooms, kosher, halal, and/or vegetarian dietary offerings, headgear regulations, and interfaith/chaplain services. Encourage religious minority students to explore their identities by participating in educational trips to regions of significance to religious minorities. The chapter also discusses the consideration of holidays outside of the Christian tradition when creating the academic calendar, housing options for religious minorities, recruitment, and other accommodation issues. Accommodations are more meaningful when they are accompanied by programming that educates the campus community on the history and origins of minority religions and Christian privilege. Before implementing an interfaith curriculum, campuses who have executed little in the way of religious diversity may want to begin by hosting a single interfaith program or event.
