The essay analyzes the legal-administrative institutes proposed in the Entrepreneurial and Innovative Universities and Institutes Program – Future-se, specifically the Social Organizations and the Endowment Funds, with the objective of understanding the innovations brought in such institutes, as they would be incorporated in the structures of the Federal Higher Education Institutions (FHEI), which are the potential effects on democratic management and the exercise of university autonomy, as well as on the dynamics of FHEI funding. Based on the normative sense of the principle of university autonomy, the method used is the documentary analysis of "Future-se" Program draft proposals regarding the adoption of Social Organizations and Endowments Funds, under technical-legal criteria. It is argued that behind an apparent incremental change in the current model of public higher education, the Future-se Program appears to subvert constitutional guidelines to lay the foundations for privatization and the widespread decline of state function in higher education policy. On the one hand, it would allow public resources to be set aside for financial market exploitation by diverting them from the public budget or even promoting privatization under the auspices of philanthropic discourse; and, on the other hand, it would make it possible to transfer to lucrative and non-profit private actors relevant portions of the power conferred today on the academic community, in its collegiate instances of administration, pulverizing the decision-making process, privatizing them and, thus, removing the criteria and public assumptions with potentially devastating effects on the autonomy of institutions, which would be heteronomously governed.
