Good news.LISLE, Illinois -- Common sense accommodations and an inclusive religious environment have helped transform Benedictine University into a popular hub for Muslim college students. Muslim students have a permanent prayer room, and the school's cafeteria offers halal meat. "St. Benedict's rules emphasize the tradition of respect and hospitality and appreciation for living and working together in a community," Zeina Abusoud, director of residence life, told Diverse magazine. "These values are universal and make it very comfortable for the Muslim students to be part of the Benedictine community." |
