PEIXOTO, Maria do Carmo de Lacerda  and  BRAGA, Mauro Mendes. Ações afirmativas no ensino superior e o programa de bônus para ingresso nos cursos de graduação da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais. R. Bras. Est. Pedag. [online]. 2012, vol.93, n.233, pp.166-188. ISSN 2176-6681.

This paper addresses the affirmative action program under the perspective of social and ethno-racial inclusion in higher education. It analyzes the first two years of implementation, by the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), of a bonus program for admittance in public schools, and for the declaration of color or race, in its graduation courses. Results of the admittance exam and the socioeconomic forms filled out by applicants are evaluated, verifying the changes occurred in the composition of applicants and those admitted, as well as the effects generated by the program in the increase of the inclusion in the University. Despite the fact that the promoted inclusion is only part of the pathway to be covered verify the effectiveness of this affirmative action, the results indicate that the bonus program allowed important changes in the profile of those admitted to the University.

Keywords : Affirmative Action; Social Inclusion; Higher Education Access; Racial Group Inclusion.
