ABSTRACT
Higher education in many countries has had significant change imposed over the past two decades. These changes include a massive increase in audit culture and a subsequent increase in compliance measures imposed on staff, as well as the rise of neo-liberalism and the impact of that on the business culture of institutions with a new focus on revenue generation and free-market principles. This chapter interrogates the intellectual segregation we see in our institutions as a consequence of our failure to leverage the potential of diversity for the sake of striving towards inclusion and inclusive leadership in higher education. The legal frameworks in many countries will disallow discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex and national origin and there are generally equal opportunity statements on websites, but that does not mean there is no discrimination.
