Four years ago, some university constituents planned to establish a chapel within the school premise. The problem was where could it be built within the university territory?
I don’t know if they have already a proposed site, but the problem that I can see right now is what type/kind of chapel would that be? Is it for the Roman Catholic? Or some other sect of the Christian religion?
The academe, in the ideal sense, ought not to side/lean with one particular religion. That would be against one of the basic principles of a university — that is, respect to one’s religion, be that Christian or non-Christian, and Roman Catholic or non-Roman Catholic!

Hello!
The said chapel will be an ecumenical chapel, that is any religious sect can use it.
