Catholic University's Muslim Students Should Have Own Prayer Rooms Without Crucifix, Complaint States

Catholic University's Muslim Students Should Have Own Prayer Rooms Without Crucifix, Complaint States: A law school professor has filed a complaint with the District of Columbia Office of Human Rights, alleging that Catholic University of America, a private institution, discriminates against Muslim students.

John F. Banzhaf III claims the school "[denies Muslim students] equal access to the benefits CUA provides to other student groups," according to a press release, posted on PRLog.

The professor's allegations stem from the school's failure to give formal recognition to a Muslim Association, although its law school recognizes a Jewish association, according to theThe Tower, Catholic University's school newspaper.
