How to Measure Inclusion in Higher Education: An Inclusive Rating

Abstract

Nowadays, inclusion is a main concern whoever and wherever. Higher education and business schools have been criticized for their non-inclusion for many years. In this context, higher education has a model role to play concerning inclusion. However, there is a lack of tools to measure the inclusivity levels of institutions. Thus, it is difficult to really know if higher education is inclusive or not and in case it is needed, where they must be more inclusive. This paper proposes a new tool. This paper created an inclusivity index that provides an operational answer to assess inclusivity. This tool does not rank institutions as ranking was highly criticized. It rates the levels of inclusivity of all the stakeholders of higher education for different dimensions.
