Globally, numerous empirical studies have been conducted on the opportunities and challenges of human diversity in higher education institutions (HEIs). However, there is a lack of qualitative contextual discourse analysis. The goal of this brief contextual discourse analysis was therefore to figure out essential reasons as to why human diversity in HEIs is beneficial and at the same time challenging. The study was realized using a qualitative contextual discourse analysis method. To this end, a review and reflection of various published books and peer reviewed articles were used to explore the current worldwide condition of the human diversity at HEIs, the opportunities to teach and employ human diversity in HEIs, and the challenges of doing so. The reviewed literature showed that, despite certain fundamental challenges, human diversity in HEIs is extremely useful since it supports knowledge growth and transmission. The educational planners at HEIs should have a framework for human diversity to maximize resource allocation and develop a community of HEIs that is actively engaged across cultures, fostering productivity and outstanding institutional performance. Therefore, to effectively implement their planning in the context of current globalization, educational leaders in the twenty-first century need to seriously consider the findings of this study on opportunities and challenges of human diversity. Policymakers must also create an inclusive human diversity policy that accurately reflects heterogeneous individuals in order to make the HEIs a sector that values human diversity.  \nBACKGROUND INFORMATION  \nIn academia, the term “human diversity” is used to characterize a wide range of human phenomena connected to differences between and within the HEIs community (Owen, 2009) . Human diversity manifests itself in a variety of ways, including variations in physical characteristics, racial and ethnic origins, cultural backgrounds, and sexual orientations. Some of these human diversityrelated characteristics are overt while others are covert or imperceptible (Goodman, 2011) . While today HEIs have displayed human diversities, university education was only reserved for the wealthy people before the Second World War (Codling & Meek, 2006) . However, the diversity situation in HEIs changed following the war. Goedegebuure and Meek (1997), cited by Codling and Meek (2006), have identified five phases of HEIs human diversity development in the postwar years, including: rapid expansion in the 1950s and 1960s; diversification in the 1960s and early 1970s; consolidation and the establishment of more cost-effective alternatives to the HEIs in the late 1970s; a focus on specific issues such as human diversity, quality improvement, efficiency, and internationalization in the 1980s; and reduction in public expenditure and a focus on efficiency in the 1990s. Meek et al. reference Trow (1995) for a helpful and all-encompassing idea of human diversity in HEIs (2000) . He described the human diversity of HEIs as the existence of various postsecondary educational programs and institutions within a state or country, each with a distinct mission to prepare students for a variety of lives and careers, as well as different organizational and funding structures, teaching methods, laws and political affiliations (Meek et al., 2000) . This  \nEducational Planning | Spring 2023 19 Vol. 30, No. 2  \nconcept is commonly accepted by planners of higher education since it deals with differences across institutions in the global higher education system.
