Shafiqa Ahmadi at USC's Center for Education, Identity and Social Justice studies students' sense of belonging on college campuses and teaches workshops on how colleges can be more inclusive.
She says USC plans to continue offering annual Ramadan accommodations as long as the dining halls are open and Muslim students are on the school's meal plan. "Many of the Muslim students who attend historically Black colleges and universities tend to feel better supported and more engaged than their counterparts at predominately white institutions," says Darnell Cole of USC's Center for Education, Identity and Social Justice.
"MSAs are built to support Muslim students in terms of their practice on college campuses. And Ramadan is, I think, a central part of that," says Bushra Bangee of Muslim Students Association West, which oversees MSAs on the West Coast. Khan's sorority is also partnering with the nation's first Muslim fraternity, Alpha Lambda Mu, to host an iftar at UT Austin's student-run mosque.Bangee attributes the surge of campus inclusion efforts to the events of the past two years, including the response to George Floyd's murder and the national conversation around racial justice.
