As religious leaders at Syracuse University we fully support our fellow chaplain and colleague Tanweer Haq, who serves the campus Muslim community, as well as the members and participants of the Muslim Students Association. The desire to create safe space to express diversity in belief is a goal we all share.

Each chaplaincy supports all students, faculty and staff regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation or ability in their search for spirituality. We stand together in the hope that discrimination based on stereotypes and racial profiling will come to an end. We affirm the right of all students to study without the fear of undue surveillance. To achieve that goal we support the continued dialogue among all groups to facilitate mutual understanding of the diversity both on campus and in the world.
