From an earlier news event involving CUA;

The official allegations claim that CUA, “does not provide space – as other universities do – for the many daily prayers Muslim students must make, forcing them instead to find temporarily empty classrooms where they are often surrounded by Catholic symbols which are incongruous to their religion,” according to a press release on PRLOG.com. [10/24/2011]

FYI: Most Muslim foreign students attend US Universities under full subsidies from their home governments. I do not know how this above problem was resolved but in other similar situations, a 'benevolent' Islamic charity generally swooped in to build / remodel some suitable place for such prayers. I sure these sane priests would have objected to the same, right?

That was Banzhaf’s doing. He filed the suit after he sued CUA for re-instituting same sex only dorms as violating the DC’s Civil Rights law.

Both of his cases were dismissed, especially when it was revealed no Muslim students stepped forward for his lawsuit.
