“Far from being limited to representation, diversity is also a driver of innovation. It expands the range of questions universities are able to ask, enriches collective processes of ideation and enables the design of roadmaps that are more robust, more inclusive and better aligned with social complexity.” For Àngels Fitó Bertran, Rector of Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC), placing people back at the centre of universities' transformation agendas is not a rhetorical choice, but a strategic one, as diversity-aware leadership fosters decisions anchored in inclusion, responsibility and long-term institutional sustainability. 💡 In her #EUAExpertVoices article, Àngels explains: - Why a strategy without people is an incomplete strategy; - Why diversity is a structural pillar of higher education leadership, not a side policy; - How to lead university transformation through participation and co-responsibility; and - Why leadership development can sustain higher education's transformation. 🔗 Read her article via the link in the comments:
