Religious Discrimination on MSU's Campus?

Discrimination on campus is more racial rather than religious said Ravitch. According to him, there is much more discrimination by excuse of religion against homosexuals than against any religion itself on college campuses.

Catholic, Jewish, and Agnostic MSU students all felt as if they had not been discriminated against because of their religion, with only a plea that the university possibly be more inclusive.

The university has a strict anti-discrimination policy where all forms of discrimination are strictly prohibited and also has an Office of Inclusion and Intercultural Initiatives, with a job of foremost promotion of racial, religious, and ethic inclusion on campus.

Catholic MSU student Mary Kate Tantillo said she has not been personally discriminated against but feels as though people in general are not fond of the Catholic Church.

Ravitch explains that many social issues in greater society are not as prevalent on college campuses due to their size and cultural dynamics.
