Abstract

Diversity is an increasingly popular catchphrase and has meanwhile reached higher education policy. Associated measures and policies, however, are still relatively new endeavors for german-speaking universities. Potentials and impacts of diversity measures and policies are controversial, especially regarding the reduction of social inequality and the setup of gender equal universities. Critical reflection on concepts and practices of diversity are crucial prerequisites for a serious inclusion policy for the entrepreneurial university. The collection at hand is a welcome guide for all who are involved in diversity policies in higher education and provides a good foundation for an informed, critical-reflective practice.
