Organizational Changes and Leadership Suitability: A Study of Institutional Diversity in Educational Institutions

Introduction

Colleges and universities are not immune to the continual challenges of technological transformation and advantages of fostering social diversity, fairness, and inclusion ideals as organisations embedded in a larger society.

The promotion of these ideas in higher education has not been without controversy, and institutions will continue to face significant internal and external challenges in their efforts to incorporate diversity into their organizational structures and cultures (Aguirre and Martinez, 2006; Williams, 2013). As a result, academics and practitioners have joined forces to argue that higher education must change to reflect shifting demographic patterns, educate students for a more globalised economy and varied workforce, and embrace the principles of social and cultural pluralism and equity (Aguirre and Martinez, 2006; Chun and Evans, 2009; Williams, 2013).
