Sustainable universities: The LGBTQIAP+ inclusive model

Abstract

The construction of a model with strategies target at the LGBTQIAP+ was performed aiming at integration of gender and sexuality conceptions in universities to promote sustainable development. We used a multicriteria analysis to identify indicators and create an evaluation model (decision tool) for sustainable universities. The decision tree includes validation through literature review of 127 publications, secondary data, LGBTQIAP+ pro-inclusion practices of international universities, and the analysis of experts around sustainable development in universities through questionnaires. The result was the development of a validated model of social and sustainable inclusion to be applied by universities in: education, research, and management.
