Abstract

This paper focuses on the role of universities in an inclusive culture. Malaysian society consists of various ethnic groups such as ethnic Malays, ethnic Indians, ethnic Chinese and from various other indigenous ethnic groups. The purpose of this study is to understand the extent of the role of universities in developing a culture including and for students. This paper reports on four variables regarding student inclusive culture. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach, the main data obtained through interviews and questionnaires to 25 students. The results show that the university strongly supports inclusiveness efforts on campus. This can be seen from the opinions of students, although they differ, most students acknowledge the campus's efforts to promote an inclusive culture. The data show that the increase leads to reflective practices of students and university culture in favor of an inclusive culture.
