I was interviewed about diversity and inclusion policies at universities and universities of applied sciences in the Netherlands, and the perception and effectiveness of such policies.
It is evident that a lot is happening in higher education in the area of diversity and inclusion, but it is often not clear what goals institutions have with specific measures and careful monitoring of impacts is often lacking.
I emphasize the importance of gaining an understanding of the diversity and perceived inclusion within higher education. This way, you get a sense of what is going on within the organization and any inequalities or differences between groups of students and staff can be identified. Those who start monitoring can take targeted measures that take into account the specific situation within the organization.
