Canadian University To Install Footbaths Without Controversy

In Canada, the University of British Columbia is planning to install foot baths in the men's and women's washrooms in the University's Brock Hall where a prayer room used by Muslim students is located. The decision seems to have been made without the controversies that similar decisions have generated in the United States. Vancouver's The Province yesterday quoted a university spokesperson who said: "It's no different from upgrading washrooms to accommodate transgender students or students with disabilities."
