This article analyzes the financing's profile of higher education expansion, aiming to debate about public-private partnership on financing this education's level during Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff governments. The study starts from the thesis that the public higher education's financing it's directly related to State's tax adjustment policy implemented in Brazil since 1990, as part of the neoliberal reforms adopted on the Latin America countries, following the guidance of international bodies, such as World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF) and Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The qualitative and quantitative methodology was used, by collecting documental sources and data from Institute of Educational Studies and Researches Anísio Teixeira (INEP) and from Federal Government Implemented Budgetary on term from 2003 to 2012. The text reflects the financing policy of Brazilian public higher education, establishing a relationship with public and private expansion of this education level. The study evinced that despite of the increasing of enrollment in Federal public sector, the expansion policy of this education level has granted the private sector by means of governmental incentives, especially with PROUNI (University For All Program) and FIES (Students Financing Fund) programs. The detailed analyze of the Federal Government budgetary, considering the transactions between incomes and expenses, a tax adjustment implemented by federal government was evinced, directly hitting the federal public Universities. At the conclusions, we have pointed out the necessity of immediate increase of resources, by means of application of 10% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for Brazilian public education.
