💨 Abstract

Rutgers University in New Jersey has decided not to create a separate category for caste-based discrimination as it believes the issue is already covered under its existing non-discriminatory policy. The university's decision was welcomed by Hindu advocacy and civil rights groups, who noted that caste falls under categories like religion, ancestry, national origin, and race. The university will continue to monitor caste discrimination through regular campus climate surveys.
