SOUSA, Letícia Pereira and PORTES, Écio Antônio. As propostas de políticas/ações afirmativas das universidades públicas e as políticas/ações de permanência nos ordenamentos legais. R. Bras. Est. Pedag. [online]. 2011, vol.92, n.232, pp.516-541. ISSN 2176-6681.
The study focused on the legal aspects of the federal universities affirmative policies implementation. In this sense, it revises the work of Carvalho (2003), Gomes (2005) and Munanga (2003) as well as some critics in the work of Maggie and Fry (2002), Maio and Santos (2007) and others. It aims at the understanding of the permanence policies/actions process through documental analysis. The analysis pointed out some differences concerning poor black youths and whites’ access to higher education. However, the data analysis showed that these policies just appear as a priority in some legal systems as they suffer economical restraints to their implementation.
