Inclusive policies in higher education are planned to achieve racial, cultural and sexual diversity in institutions, similarly to social diversity itself. Such policies are intended to repair historical discrimination that has contributed to the unequal situation those groups have been facing. For such, the establishment of Affirmative Action Policies in the higher education field in some countries is intended to achieve greater social integration in societies that are usually characterized by fragmentation of different kinds. The purpose of this paper is to address, from a comparative perspective, the advances of public policies for university inclusion in Argentina and Brazil, considering the differences between their social structures and higher education systems.
