US: Stanford Student Alleges Peers Pretend To Be Jain To Skip $7,944 Meal Plan | Spotlight

Описание: A student essay has put Stanford University at the centre of a heated campus debate. The opinion piece claims some undergraduates are falsely citing Jain religious dietary rules to avoid the university’s mandatory meal plan, which costs nearly $8,000 a year. The author describes a culture of “optimisation,” where students share ways to work around rules, based on personal observations rather than official data. Jainism is an ancient Indian religion rooted in non-violence, with strict dietary practices. The claim has sparked sharp reactions on social media, reviving wider questions about meal plan costs and how universities manage religious exemptions fairly.
