Reduced Inequalities
Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Surabaya (Unusa) has developed and implemented a range of policies and practices aimed at ensuring an inclusive, equitable, and accessible campus environment for all members of its community. These measures are in direct alignment with Sustainable Development Goal 10 (Reducing Inequalities), demonstrating UII’s commitment to promoting equality and social inclusion. By fostering a campus culture that values diversity and supports marginalized groups, UII strives to create an environment where every individual, regardless of background or identity, has the opportunity to thrive academically, socially, and professionally.
One of the key aspects of Unusa commitment to reducing inequalities is its emphasis on non-discriminatory practices across all areas of university life, including admissions, recruitment, and academic progression. The university ensures that students and staff from diverse backgrounds—whether based on gender, race, disability, or socio-economic status—are provided with the same opportunities for success. Through various support systems, such as scholarships, mentorship programs, and tailored academic resources, UII works to level the playing field for students who may face additional barriers to education.
Unusa also provides targeted support for marginalized groups, ensuring that they have access to the necessary resources to overcome challenges and achieve their academic goals. This includes specialized services for students with disabilities, initiatives that promote gender equality, and programs designed to support students from low-income backgrounds. By offering these services, UII fosters a campus culture that values diversity and actively works to reduce the disparities that can hinder equal access to education.
In addition to promoting inclusivity within the university, UII also strives to create an environment where all voices are heard and respected. The university’s focus on reducing inequalities extends beyond the classroom, as it actively engages with students, faculty, and staff to ensure that all individuals have the opportunity to contribute to campus life. Through these comprehensive measures, UII is helping to build a more inclusive society, one that supports social mobility, reduces disparities, and fosters greater equality for all.
