Abstract

The public university has encountered more and more fiance restrictions in Brazil, evidenced sharply at the Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (Rio de Janeiro State University). Naive analyses consider as an inevitable phenomenon what is in fact the consequence of inadequate polictics and of an ideology defending a mutilated state which consequently does not compromise with higher education. The lack of attention to real determinants and to the sense of the “crisis” produces a proliferation of inadequate, equivocated and inapplicable propositions to face the problems which ignore or do not take into account the important role played by actions of state for reducing the increase of social inequality. Between the actions to be highlighted is the preservation of public universities, providing free and qualifid education.
