Workforce Diversity Scenario
SCENARIO: A campus has set aside a prayer block for the sole use of students who have rigid religious restrictions of praying ( such as Muslims, Buddhist, Jehovah Witness, Catholics, Jews, Hindus) as praying. Other students, who are not much religious using the adjacent building in the evening now need to walk through a dark and bushy isolated area of the campus to the nearest alternative facility or transport.
This has led to complaints about risking personal safety by walking alone, disruption to classes when students have others accompany them, and embarrassment for some students and staff needing to contact the only campus security to provide escort to and from the toilets.
TASK: Provide at least five solutions to the issues raised with the group and explain the solutions. Your response and solutions should take into account cultural needs, discrimination, religious practice, health and safety, and legal obligation.
