the solution was not that simple after all

my apologies.

After communicating with the representative of the Muslim University Students' Association (MUSA), I have come to discover that a permanent room booking that functions as a prayer room for Muslim Students will not be sufficient.

I have come to understand that a majority of MUSA's members have their lectures at St. David's and are also based in the Language Studies/Foundation Building.

I will work with Timetables Department to allocate rooms in the St. David's building according to the specific prayer times for Muslim students.

I will also work to propose that the University allocate rooms in the new building they have recently purchased to include prayer rooms.

I will also continue to work with and consult the University Chaplain, and the religious groups concerned to work out a plan and possible solutions to this issue.

I still hold firm to the belief that religious groups on campus play a significant role in providing care and support to international students and I will work hard to support them and include them in my planning and decision-making process if elected as International Students' Representatives.

The International Students' Rep. should not just focus on cultural pursuits but encompass all aspects of what it means in being an international student. I am that person for that job.
