MSU,M just instituted a provision for Halal meat in the food service  
-- nothing about Kosher.
I suspect that it's a population issue -- until recently Jews were  
the largest religious minority in University populations.
Now that that's changing (we have a much larger Islamic than Jewish  
population -- both student and faculty) accommodation patterns will  
probably also change.

Deans are always sending memos to faculty
to be cognizant of Jewish holidays and allow
Jewish students to be excused from classes and
make provisions for make-up for those students.
I am not aware of ever receiving a memo re
Islamic students (Ramadan),or Haitian students(Voodoo),Afro-Cubans  
(Santeria) and Brazilians
(Condomble).
Send me something.
