The text analyses three versions of “Programa Universidades e Institutos Empreendedores e Inovadores - Future-se”, presented by the Brazilian federal government. The proposition has been targeted by intense criticism, triggering an ample process of mobiliation and rejection by the deliberative organs of the Higher education federal institutions. The methodological procedures were guided by bibliographical revision and documental analysis with a qualitative nature approach. In the analysis, it was identified that, beyond the privatizing character, when proposing self-financing instruments via market resources captation, the program attacks university autonomy, even interfering with the courses formative profile. Entrepreneurship and employability actions, by the proposition, shall guide academic management of graduation and post-graduation courses. The managerialist logic, based in contracts and result indicators, in exchange of special benefits concession, imputes restrictions to the university makings. Despite the grave crisis of economical, political and sanitary order battled in the country, the government sent the Future-se law project to the House of Representatives and it is going to join to the group of measures of dismantlement of the State, idealized by Paulo Guedes. The results point that an agressive process of universitary counter-reform of which the centrality is the public financing dismantlement and the emptying of university autonomy is in order.
