This article presents a specific case study: the proposal to create a new Graduate Program at the School of Education of the University of São Paulo (FEUSP). Everything was precipitated after the results of CAPES´four-year evaluation (2013-16) were published in the last quarter of 2017, since the program´s score was reduced from 6 to 5, that is, it was from now on regulated by the PROAP instead PROEX, because the “excellence” is exclusive from those classified with concepts 6 and 7. This implied a reduction of funds and academic prestige. The consequent divisions and internal cleavages led to a group of teachers taking the initiative to structure a new Program at FEUSP, which, after completing internal procedures to the course (which were not exempt from considerable tensions) and the Rectory of USP, was sent to CAPES for necessary assessment procedures. In December 2019, the outcome, the agency did not to appeal the decision. At the beginning of March 2019, the outcome of the reconsideration request is still pending. The empirical material that grounds the analysis consists of minutes of meetings of the congregation, the departments, the post-graduation committee, as well as written records of the meetings held by professors who intend to integrate the new Program, as also exchanges of electronic messages between the various agents involved in the process.

Keywords : Knowledge production; University graduate in education; Brazilian university Campus; Academic fights.
