So stop cowtowing. Why are we supporting ANY religion's dietary restrictions? As you said we can't well conform to one and not all, so just ban every one. Any irrational preference to one thing in an identical group is just stupid. The man can make a rational arument that the school must not cook his food on metal surfaces because they have agreed to make sure certain foods are not mixed with pork juice or other things that would violate kosher for the Jews, therefore the school is stuck having to bow to this ass because they were stupid enough to write another assinine law into the books.

Probably sheer numbers. BU would be empty buildings without the Jewish kids. I don't know anything about the ital diet, is it possible to eat off a regular menu? The cafeteria probably has a broad enough choice that eating Kosher isn't difficult, but can smokey do the same? I'm just being the devils advocate here. They should have reached a compromise by now that does not include a personal chef.

It's probably true that they have to offer special accomodations to a group of students that comprise a large portion of the school, so I guess they have two choices right now I can see. They can give him whatever accomodations he demands, and then hold him in the spotlight for the public to judge. Or they can tell him that as a single student he doesn't hold enough political power to make them give him a personal chef. I say they take the first option and try to shame the guy into submission or isolate him enough to then take the second option.
