CHAVES, Vera Lúcia Jacob  e  ARAUJO, Rhoberta Santana de. The Neo-Conservative Attack on Brazil’s Federal Universities. Rev. Int. Educ. Super. [online]. 2022, vol.8, e022045.  Epub 12-Ago-2022. ISSN 2446-9424.  https://doi.org/10.20396/riesup.v8i0.8669158.

The paper analyses the offensive against Brazil’s federal universities autonomy and financing, engendered by Bolsonaro’s government. The undermining of the democratic practice in the leadership choice process and the chronic underfinancing, create an atmosphere of uncertainty in these institutions. The review of literature; the primary sources (laws, decrees, decree-laws, House of Representatives website) and universities electronic portals consult subsidized the current working procedure. It was concluded that is functioning now a dismounting and refunctionalisation process in federal universities, based on the radicalization of neoliberalism and the rise of the neo-conservative agenda.
