A implementação da Lei 12.711/2012 no âmbito da Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro: caminhos e descaminhos

Abstract

The work aims to investigate the ways of implementing Law 12,711 / 2012 within the scope of the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ). seeking to understand how the institution has been developing affirmative action policies foreseen in this legal diploma. With qualitative approach, a documental analysis was carried out in which information about Brazilian education was analyzed, contained in the database of MEC / FINEP and of the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro, documents and bibilographic research. In the reflections made, it was sought to understand how UFRRJ has been developing its affirmative action policy, as well as ethnic-racial discussions are configured in this scenario. The theoretical framework of this study consists essentially of authors who discuss the expansion and democratization of Higher Education, Affirmative Actions and ethnic-racial relations. In documentary mapping, the evidence for implementing affirmative actions at UFRRJ was analyzed. Thus, it became evident that there is, among the quota holders, diversity in the positioning regarding the quotas, as well as different anxieties and perceptions regarding the policies of student permanence and insertion in the university environment Another challenge concerns the formation and functioning of the Self-Declaration Verification Commissions of color / ethnicity. The lack of criteria for choosing the commissions that decide the phenotype of quota holders in universities has caused legal clashes. The increase in the number of frauds seems to be directly related to the absence of specific legislation that defines the criteria for the selection regarding admission to higher education institutions, through which they could create parameters to improve the quality of the selection made.
