“…This broad perception of diversity is an important precondition for creating a supportive university setting for all students (Aquino, 2020).

This study investigates university administrative staff perception of inclusion in higher education at the university level. The study uses the University of Latvia as a case to answer the following research questions: What constitutes inclusion in university education, how accessibility is provided? What are the support systems provided for diverse students? What support and training are provided to administrative and academic staff to ensure that the educational needs of diverse student bodies are met? The methodology employed is exploratory and descriptive, and uses the interview method and semi-structured questionnaire. The sample is made of seven administrative staff members representing all levels of administration in the University. Findings suggest that administrative staff members perceive inclusion as a new principle for HE, where diversity is perceived in its broader sense. Findings indicate that support is provided to all students, but that the support is not designed specifically for students with diverse needs. Findings suggested that none of the administrative staff or academics had received training on how to address student diversity.

“…Despite years of increasing participation initiatives, inequality gaps remain, exposing growing divergences in educational opportunities and outcomes across and within countries (Salmi and D'Addio, 2020). Access to 'skills and diffusion of knowledge … allows inequality to be reduced both within countries and at the international level', but that is not happening (Piketty, 2020, p. 534).…”

“…Meanwhile, the rise of neoliberal arguments advocating the market distribution and private benefits of higher education continue to recognize the importance of higher education for the vitality of nation-states (Marginson 2014). The result is a paradoxical increase in state attention to equity in postsecondary access and its role in facilitating social mobility, (Salmi and D'Addio 2020;Warikoo and Allen 2019), simultaneous with expansion of private-sector provision in many countries.…”

We provide a framework for integrating sociological and politicalhistorical approaches to the worldwide expansion of higher education in the twentieth century. Doing so enables scholars and policymakers to better identify variation across place and time in how the provision of higher education has been rendered culturally meaningful and politically feasible. We identify three conceptions of state commitment to higher education: as a national asset, a citizen right, and a commodity. The conceptions are not mutually exclusive and can simultaneously animate national cultures and politics. We also suggest a novel periodization of global higher education history from 1945 to the present. Our work serves as an introduction to the seven other articles in this special issue, which consider the twentieth-century evolution of higher education politics and policies in Canada,
