London School of Economics Removes Christian Holidays
Administrators at the London School of Economics (LSE) have stripped Lent and Easter — as well as Christmas — from the academic calendar in an attempt to become more “international.” My guess is by being less culturally sensitive to western religious holidays, LSE will lose students from the UK, Europe, Canada and USA.
London School of Economics is rightly named because their focus is money, earning and turning a profit. Yet, one thing the London School of Economics has forgotten and failed to realize, economics is a social science. Religion and students adhering to their family, cultural and religious beliefs is part of how they exercise themselves socially and within their respective communities. Thus, by failing to see the importance of cultural and religious holidays and ignoring students who celebrate and practice Christian holidays, the London School of Economics is alienating itself from western Christian and Catholic students who celebrate these important Christian holidays. Thus, the London School of Economics is likely to lose students from the UK, Europe, Canada and the USA.
This social science experiment of doing away with Christian holidays to appeal to international students will be enlightening for the London School of Economics. One thing is for certain however, universities around the world earn more from international students paying out of state and international student tuition (which is typically much higher than what local students pay). Thus, the desire of universities to appeal to and attract international students is understandable from a purely economic standpoint. Yet, students who come to the UK, USA, Canada, Europe, New Zealand and Australia want to experience local culture not change it. In this, LSE is missing the mark and will come to regret it.
