MSA in the Media 
UT wants to prioritize diversity September 13
Diversity at UT isn't what it should be, according to one UT student.
"I think we need to develop and improve this concept," said Abdulrahman Alrashidi, a graduate student majoring in marketing and president of the Muslim Student Association. "At the MSA, we are working with the [International Student Association] to improve this concept, and I have personally talked with the [Student Government President Mike Betz], and he said that his agenda is to promote this concept."
Everyone needs to be in on helping UT increase diversity, Alrashidi said.
"We need all associations to be involved," he said. "It's a very important concept, to understand and respect other people's differences."
Alrashidi said diversity is important because we live in a world with people of different ethnic and religious backgrounds.
"We have to understand each other and know each other's backgrounds and beliefs," Alrashidi said. "That's why I think diversity is a bridge to take us into peace."
