| Summary: | The aim of this article is to argue for the claim that university autonomy is a constitutive norm of the Brazilian democracy, authoritatively settled by the Constitution of 1988. For such endeavor, the article demonstrates the connections between the meaning of university autonomy, the preservation of democracy and the guarantee of federalism. The methodology makes reference to the recent attacks on Brazilian public universities, comparing them to the international scenario of authoritarian rise. Financial autonomy appears as a key element: we will show that recent budgetary cuts amount to a breach of law and of the Constitution of 1988. The research results show that restrictions to university autonomy are connected to authoritarian politics. The conclusion is for the necessity of an urgent normative recovery of university autonomy in Brazil. |
