51³Ô¹Ï reports that there have been calls to give greater prominence to faith-related matters (¡°Campuses urged to regard religion as a diversity issue¡±, News, 18 June). In my view, a university is a secular place of learning. If you want attention paid to your religion, you should go to a theological college. It is not a university¡¯s job to pander to superstition. Religion, unlike race, gender, sexual orientation and disability, is a choice, and if you can¡¯t modify your choice to cater for the university¡¯s rules, you should go elsewhere.
