Beyond Tolerance: A Campus Religious Diversity Kit
|
Survey results indicate that religious diversity on campuses is on the rise, and the realization that we need to accommodate that diversity is also increasing. In response, more and more colleges, universities and independent high schools are creating new staffing, programs and facilities that take religious diversity into account.
While many student life professionals are inclined to work toward addressing this issue, they consistently raise some very essential questions, such as:
- How can we explore the impact that religious diversity has had on our campus in general, and residential life in particular?
- What part does religious diversity play in relation to our other diversity programs?
- How can we create campus partnerships around religious issues?
- What new models exist for religious and spiritual life programs?
- How can we deal with inter-religious conflicts on campus?
- How can we address unacceptable behavior by religious groups on campus?
- What should our attitude be toward celebrating the various religious holy days?
- How should we approach religiously-based food issues?
- Can we hold campus-wide multi-religious celebrations?
- Should we develop multi-faith facilities? How?
- What is the role of religion in the significant life events of our students?
- What is the role of religion and spirituality in counseling?
- How can we best prepare students for life and work in a religiously diverse world?
The new Religious Diversity Kit has been produced by NASPA and EDUCATION as Transformation, and is designed to help you address these and other questions. It includes a video and study guide for a performance piece depicting the difficult process of developing understanding across religious lines, and contains sections on Religious & Spiritual Life Program Models, Dialogue Facilitation, Codes of Behavior for Religious Groups on Campus, Observing Religious Holy Days, Accommodating Religious Dietary Requirements, Designing Multi-faith Celebrations, Creating Multi-faith Spaces, and Counseling Students in a Multi-religious Context. It also provides a list of additional resources—books and Web sites—that you might find useful.
We hope that this kit will aid you in the development of a richer and more comprehensive student life program.
