Since this petition was initially circulated, UC Riverside has backslid in terms of its Halal food options. Chronic Tacos no longer serves Halal-certified meat and Muslim students are struggling to find food options on campus.
Vegetarian and Seafood options on campus are limited with the closures of Blaze Pizza and Hibachi-San and are often more costly.
Muslim students are starting to feel isolated as they have to prepare food at home or resort to going off-campus to eat, which causes a loss in revenue for the university.
Student leadership in the Middle Eastern and Muslim community on campus is working to pass a resolution and work with campus dining to resolve this issue.
PLEASE sign this petition to show support for this cause and provide more halal food options on campus. This is a diverse university, our food options should reflect that!
