SILVA, Jorge Paiva da  and  OURIQUE, Maiane Liana Hatschbach. A expansão da educação superior no Brasil: um estudo do caso Cesnors. R. Bras. Est. Pedag. [online]. 2012, vol.93, n.233, pp.215-230. ISSN 2176-6681.

This article discusses the university expansion program implemented during Lula’s Administration (2003-2010) with the intent to qualify the debate on sustainable access to higher education. In order to achieve this, it is used an critical and hermeneutic approach on the processes of transformation and expansion of brazilian universities, focusing, specially, in the creation of the Centro de Educação Superior Norte (Cesnors),connected to the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM). Therefore, the central argument to democratize access is the strengthening of ties between community and university in order to anchor the quality of higher education in the political-cultural processes of a wider society.

Keywords : University; Expansion; Access; Quality.
