Islamophobia at the University of Richmond Disclaimer: Any student whose name is present in the article was asked for consent prior to the publication of the article. The blatantly discriminatory, openly dangerous narrative spun around the Islamic religion has woven itself into the fabric of the United States and into all academic spaces; the University of Richmond is no exception.
While boasting a robust Chaplaincy program with programs for at least twelve separate religious groups, the school also has a history of religious discrimination, and many of the practices perpetuated by this historical pattern affect Muslim students at the University today. Take the language and academic material used to study in Islam in classroom settings as an example.
