The rector of the Universitat Jaume I and delegate of the Presidency for Equality Policies at Crue Universities, Eva Alcón, stresses that "diversity is an added value for universities" and therefore reiterates "the need to continue to support inclusion in all areas of university activity, such as teaching, training, research and innovation". Alcón made these statements at an online round table organised by the Spanish Committee of Representatives of People with Disabilities (CERMI) on the strategies of universities to incorporate teaching and research staff with disabilities.

The Universitat Jaume I has been working with students with disabilities and special educational needs since its creation in the 1991-1992 academic year. It was the first Spanish university to explicitly recognise support for students with physical, sensory and mental disabilities in its statutes (1998). Throughout these years, more than a thousand people with special educational needs have passed through the classrooms of the UJI and have been supported at different stages of their academic career.

At the moment, the Diversity and Disability Unit attends 390 students, both people with disabilities and with specific educational support needs, and 12 PDI have also joined the programme of attention to diversity, although there are more lecturers with disabilities who have not required the support of the Unit for the moment.

It should be noted that in December 2019 the Universitat Jaume I created the Accessibility Unit (URA) with the aim of guaranteeing access to all the digital content generated by the UJI and that, at the moment, the Vice-rectorate for Students and Social Commitment is finalising the new inclusion plan for people with disabilities.
