The purpose of this article is to study, based on the principles that found all evaluation, the outcomes of the external institutional evaluation of Sinaes during the period of 2008 to 2009. We evaluated the procedures adopted for this evaluation, such as the constitution of Basis, the instrument of external evaluation and the general results obtained by the federal and private universities that were rated with the highest grades. Other quality indicators for higher education from the same institutions, such as the composition of the teaching staff, the number of highly rated doctorate programs and the relation between undergraduate and graduate students, were also analyzed and compared with the results obtained by these universities in the external institutional evaluation. The study questions the results of this external institutional evaluation, based on the role that it plays on the production of meaning for the evaluated institutions and on the formulation of public policies.
