SILVA, Elizandra Garcia da. The expansion of Universidade Federal do Amazonas: implications from financing in times of crisis. Avaliação [online]. 2019, vol.24, n.1, pp.26-44.  Epub Jan 02, 2019. ISSN 1982-5765.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1414-40772019000100003.

In this article, we start from the material reality of the expansion of Universidade Federal do Amazonas (UFAM), ongoing in the interior of the state, to analyze: the financing; the quantitative objective of access to higher education, estimated by the federal government; the positive evaluations of the federal government on the Program to Support Restructuring Plans for the Expansion of Federal Universities (Reuni); and elements inserted in the context of the society of the capital in crisis. Our hypothesis is a determinant link between the financing and the categorization of a precarious education in UFAM's expansion camp, as a reflection of the global conjuncture of the crisis of capital continuity and the Temer Government's adjustment policies for higher education.

Keywords : Financing; Federal universities; Expansion of UFAM; Crisis of capital; Precarious education.
