The aim of this study was to investigate how the communication of deaf professors who teach Libras (Brazilian sign language) occurs in the main campus of UFRPE, thus, to identify if the universitiyprovides the necessary and sufficient measures to facilitate this communication during work related activities, contributing to the full effectiveness of these professors’ inclusion in the academic environment. The methodology applied is linked to the qualitative method in the form of a case study. The data collection was obtained from quizzes answered by students, staff and hearing professors, as well as through interviews with deaf professors and a professional translator and interpreter, whose role is essential for the sign language communication totake place. The theory for researchwas based on the historyof deafness and sign language, as well as the paradigm of inclusion (from its former protectionist exclusion until nowadays), where social practices aim to establish equality and everyone must be recognised as citizens of equal importance. Issues related to accessibility, prejudice, stereotypes and stigma were addressed, culminating with the understanding of the importance of work as an essential element for the inclusion process. The data analysis pointed that, despite UFRPE establishing some more generalised and some more specific accessibility measures to aid the communication through Libras, they are still of little reach and effectiveness to enable the full interaction and integration of the deaf professors in this academic institution.
