Article dataset: "Inclusion at Ukrainian universities: a view from the inside"

This dataset accompanies the study "Inclusion at Ukrainian universities: a view from the inside," which investigates the state of inclusivity in Ukrainian universities. The study focuses on the perceptions of 820 university staff members from various professional roles, including academic, management, and support positions. It explores inclusivity through multiple lenses, such as work experience, interactions with students with disabilities, and self-identification with vulnerable groups. The research finds a generally positive outlook on inclusive practices, with moderate to high levels of perceived inclusivity. Perceptions vary slightly across different professional roles, but are not statistically significant. Personal experiences with students with disabilities and self-identification with vulnerable groups marginally influence perceptions of inclusivity.
