Community members call for increased recognition of different religions from university.
Among adults in Oregon, 68 percent of people identify as participants of a major religion, according to Pewforum’s 2016 survey.
Being a university that is home to both domestic and international students, as well as a religious studies degree, Oregon State University’s student body represents a number of world religions, each with their own customs and traditions.
Eliza Young Barstow, a history and religious studies instructor, has noticed an interest in religious studies among students at OSU, alongside an increase in non-religious identifying students.
