True inclusion in university settings for LGBTQ+ students is a complex challenge that requires a multifaceted approach. Current statistics reveal a concerning landscape where many higher education institutions struggle to create genuinely welcoming environments. Recent research indicates that some well-known universities in the UK have performed poorly in terms of LGBTQ+ inclusivity, surprising many who might expect better from established names. In contrast, smaller institutions have often outperformed these larger entities, demonstrating that the size of the university does not always correlate with its inclusivity. This disparity highlights the urgent need for universities to address the gaps between their stated policies and the actual experiences of LGBTQ+ students, which can significantly affect their mental health, academic performance, and overall well-being.
