Resumo
As universidades são fundamentais no desenvolvimento da sociedade, contribuindo significativamente para a formação integral dos jovens e para a geração de conhecimento, bem como para a transmissão dele para o crescimento das comunidades e do seu entorno. Da mesma forma, as universidades podem promover a inclusão em suas comunidades, especialmente naqueles setores em que existem lacunas socioeconômicas significativas, relacionadas a gênero, orientação sexual, pertencimento a um grupo étnico ou que prejudicam as pessoas com algum tipo de deficiência. O objetivo deste artigo é atualizar os conceitos vinculados à presença de oportunidades, inclusão e, principalmente, acolhimento pela comunidade universitária. Na implementação de um projeto universitário inclusivo, é necessária uma abordagem abrangente que articule políticas públicas e universitárias, inovação pedagógica, tecnologia acessível e um compromisso social explícito com a diversidade. Assim, o aumento de oportunidades e da inclusão no ensino superior deve ser entendido como um processo multidimensional que requer a transformação das estruturas, das práticas e da cultura de cada instituição universitária. Uma universidade mais inclusiva é uma melhor universidade. Em suma, o caminho para universidades mais inclusivas exige vontade política, um compromisso institucional determinado e uma profunda mudança cultural que reconheça explicitamente a inclusão e a diversidade como um verdadeiro motor de inovação e justiça, o que é central para a missão educacional. Dessa forma, as universidades são fortalecidas pela implementação de políticas de inclusão, pois, ao avançarem com equidade e qualidade, contribuem para a construção de uma sociedade mais justa e integrada.
