Return the Muslim Prayer Rooms @ RMIT

To:  Professor Margaret Gardner, Vice-Chancellor and President, RMIT

We, the undersigned, urge RMIT to reinstate the Muslim Prayer Rooms in Bld 11, level 3 as they were originally intended and in accordance with promises given previously by the University.

The elimination of a dedicated Muslim Prayer facility on the City Campus will cause Muslim students and staff at RMIT to be deeply hindered in undertaking their religious obligations and practices. Muslims have been the target of many discriminatory actions, and we believe that by taking away the Muslim Prayer Rooms, Muslims will feel unwelcomed and victimised at this University.

The campaign to return the Muslim Prayer Rooms in Bld 11, Level 3 is supported by, but not limited to, the Islamic Society, the Student Union and the National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) at RMIT.
