Ageism is configured as discrimination against another person based on their age, occurring mainly in relation to the elderly. The phenomenon, despite being experienced by higher education teachers, is little studied in regards to Education, in Brazil. Seeking to contribute to the debate, this article aims to analyze ageism among professors at the Federal University of Piauí. Therefore, the Ageism Scale in the Organizational Context was applied to the professors, whose results were analyzed in a multivariate way (Exploratory Factor Analysis and multiple linear regression), in order to identify the predominant factors of ageism at the university. Two factors related to ageism were identified, one positive and one negative.

Palabras clave : Aging; Ageism; Teaching Career; University.
