Muslim students took a break outside of their University of Colorado office, and in the hallway, positioned their prayer rugs and bodies to face northeast toward Mecca.

Following the Great Circle course I see.

Critics say Muslim students are getting preferential treatment as some schools nationwide — including the University of Michigan at Dearborn, a campus that has a large Muslim population — are building footbaths for students, who use them before prayer.

I can't even begin to tell you how much this pi$$e$ me off.

Fine... put a fancy compass on the wall that moves in random directions every few seconds. Tell them the earth is rotating, and the direction to Mecca always changes because of that. They’ll spend so much time trying to bow in the right direction they might be too tired to do anything else. :-)

Actually, all schools have them but the muslims just aren't aware of it. They're well marked too with a sign on the door that says "Men".........

Does CU have an Ag school?

Near or in the pig pens might be available.
