Sumario:This text shares reflections on the new regulations that affect the management of public higher education and the public apparatus of science, technology and innovation. Based on documentary study on federal rules and laws that affect Brazilian federal universities since the beginning of the 21st century, our analytical path understands that the legal devices that regulate public-private partnerships, and especially the new Framework for Science, Technology, and Innovation (Law 13.243/2016), are tactics that deepen the privatization process of higher education policy. This process keeps the counter-reform of the State on financing that impacts on the university autonomy and change the social role played by Brazilian federal universities, placing the mat the service of market needs. For this reason, these changes that occurred in the 21st century represent the deepening of the direction and improvement of the neoliberal offensive to social policies, in this case, Brazilian public universities.
