Privilege as Policy? An Analysis of Student Religious Accommodation Policies in Higher Education
Journal of College and Character, v22 n4 p272-290 2021
This study examines student religious accommodation policies from 36 universities in the United States. These policies were analyzed for their implications on equity, diversity, and inclusion; manifestations of Christian normativity; inclusiveness of all religious, secular, and spiritual identities; and for any notable patterns. Findings indicated areas of concern within these policies. Many policies required students from marginalized traditions to disclose details of their beliefs and practices to their professors in order to receive accommodation consideration, some policies provided no form of appeals in the case of a denial, and others raised further concerns through their wordings or applications.
