At Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar, equality, diversity, and inclusion are recognised as essential foundations of a fair and respectful academic community. Rector Regulation No. 049 of 2024 establishes the university’s institutional commitment to ensuring equal rights, inclusive participation, and protection from discrimination, exclusion, harassment, violence, and other barriers that may affect students, lecturers, staff, and wider stakeholders.

Rather than addressing inclusion only as a student issue, the policy applies across university governance, admissions, recruitment, career development, teaching and learning, student services, accessibility of facilities and digital systems, and campus culture. It also calls for regular education and training, accessible reporting mechanisms, reasonable accommodation, and continuous evaluation to help create a campus environment that is safe, accessible, dignified, and welcoming for all.
