A whiteboard message at Oregon State University’s library asks students to try to avoid eating foods, especially smelly foods, in shared spaces to be considerate of those who are observing Ramadan.
The Muslim holy month this year runs from about May 15 to June 14. During this period, Muslims are obligated to fast from dawn until sunset. Presumably, the sign was made to encourage non-observers to not eat foods with strong smells because it would make Muslim students’ hunger worse, or that it might be disrespectful.
It is not unheard of for a university to work with Muslim students during this time.
During last year’s Ramadan, three University of Washington professors offered special exam times for those observing the tradition. The professors held their tests later at night to give the observers a chance to eat before taking their tests.

“A whiteboard message at Oregon State University’s library...”
That sound very official.
Got some pickled pig feet for ya.
Where I work, bitch about the Asians cooking fish heads and who knows what else in the microwaves and you’ll find yourself in HR.
WTF! And I guess no dogs on campus. No christians praying. Women don’t wear shorts or sleeveless stops. We have to stop committing cultural suicide and cowtowing to barbarians.
When I went to college NO ONE was allowed to eat in the library.
I wasn’t aware anyone was allowed to eat in a library, let alone smelly food. They’re obviously more concerned about not offending the muzzles, than keeping the library, and the books and materials it holds, clean.
Catholics don’t abstain from meat all during lent-—just Fridays.

No one eats in a college library.
This was obviously a prank as it was written on the whiteboard.
Ah, some nice pork sausage should wake them up.....

I’ve been eating extra bacon for Ramadan.
I wouldn’t think twice about using a common area microwave to reheat.

Bingo! Persecution is always one way—in the
Christian direction.
Its not the smell going down but the gaseous eruptions that follow. By the way, why do they bend over backwards to accomodate a cult but persecute Christians every opportunity they get.
