Universities around the world, and particularly Spanish universities, are involved in the process of implementing diversity policies and practices, although productivity rankings have not yet considered inclusion indicators in their quality approaches. The current paper, which is a result of a national research project (No. EDU2017-82862-R), describes two rich datasets on the issue of diversity in Spain’s universities. Data were obtained by using a check-list and a questionnaire, collected in samples of 81 and 33 institutions, respectively. In particular, the paper provides extended descriptive data on institutionalisation of diversity indicators corresponding to philosophy and policy, and practices, that have been analysed in the article entitled ‘Exploring the Status of Diversity in Policies and Practices of Spanish Universities. An Asymmetric Dual Model’ [1]. It also reports descriptive statistics for indicators and areas by type of university (public vs. private). In addition, it shows graphical comparative data on standard scores of policies and practices vs. productivity indicators (global and partial U-Ranking indexes). Researchers, policy makers and practitioners could benefit from datasets, as they provide information on a good number of indicators reflecting strengths and weaknesses in university policies and practices in the field of diversity.
