Abstract：
This study investigates the state of inclusivity in Ukrainian universities, focusing on the perceptions of university staff amid the country\'s ongoing sociopolitical transformations. Here we report on the perceptions of 820 staff members from various professional roles, including academic, management, and support positions, this research explored inclusivity through diverse lenses, encompassing work experience, interactions with students with disabilities, and self-identification with vulnerable groups. Most respondents assessed a moderate to high level of inclusivity, indicating a positive overall outlook on inclusive practices within these institutions. Notably, perceptions of inclusivity vary slightly across different professional roles, with academic staff expressing a marginally lower level of perceived inclusivity than their counterparts. However, these variations are not statistically significant, suggesting a uniform perception across staff categories. Furthermore, the study revealed that personal experience in working with students with disabilities does not substantially alter staff perceptions of inclusivity. Similarly, self-identification with vulnerable groups only marginally influences these perceptions. This suggests that while individual experiences and identities are factors in inclusivity perceptions, their impact is not profoundly different. This research contributes to understanding inclusivity in higher education, particularly within environments undergoing significant social and political changes.
摘要：
这项研究调查了乌克兰大学的包容性状况，在国家正在进行的社会政治变革中，关注大学工作人员的看法。在这里，我们报告了820名来自各种专业角色的工作人员的看法，包括学术,管理,和支持位置，这项研究通过不同的镜头探索包容性，包括工作经验，与残疾学生的互动，以及对弱势群体的自我认同。大多数受访者评估了中等到高度的包容性，表明对这些机构内部包容性做法的积极总体展望。值得注意的是,不同的职业角色对包容性的看法略有不同，学术人员的感知包容性水平略低于同行。然而,这些变化在统计上并不显著，建议跨员工类别的统一看法。此外，研究显示，与残疾学生合作的个人经验并没有实质性改变员工对包容性的看法。同样，对弱势群体的自我认同只会对这些感知产生轻微影响。这表明，虽然个人经历和身份是包容性感知的因素，他们的影响并没有太大的不同。这项研究有助于理解高等教育的包容性，特别是在经历重大社会和政治变化的环境中。
