Resumo
This research analyses the student movement fights between the years of 2007 and 2012,
considering the contradictions fomented essentially by the Support of Restructuring Plans and
Expansion of Federal Universities Program (REUNI). These events were understood and
interpreted considering that, in this context, the federal institutions of university education went
through an important process of expansion and enlargement of vacancies’ number, subsidized
by Student’s Assistance National Program (PNAES) and by Quotas Law (Law nº
12.1711/2012), which resulted in a university students’ class reconfiguration. For that, we made
a case study of the student movement performance from Philosophy, Arts and Human Sciences
School (EFLCH) from Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP), localized in Guarulhos,
São Paulo. We hypothesized that the performance agenda of the student movement from
UNIFESP was determined by university expansions approved by REUNI in campuses localized
outside headquarter, grouping different interests. The research was developed by performing
the following procedures: a) quantitative analysis of university expansion policies through data
from Education Ministry (MEC) and other sources; b) quantitative analysis of the impacts about
the student’s profile using data provided by National Forum of Provosts for Student’s and
Communities’ Subjects (FONAPRACE) and data about EFLCH student’s profile published by
Provost for Student’s Subjects (PRAE), in partnership with Provost for Undergraduation
(PROGRAD), through the Commission for Socioeconomic Profile Studies (CEPES); c)
analyses of public documentary sources, such as student movement blogs, minutes of university
institutional meetings and articles by newspapers with national relevance; d) interviews with
ex-students engaged in the student movement during the period of time described above. The
results obtained by this research demonstrated that the central hypothesis was confirmed,
therefore being the university precariousness, developed into the expansion context, the main
reason that brought different interests together in the student movement, although marked by
shocks and arguments around this claim.
