Transparência das políticas de cotas: análise nos sites das Universidades e Institutos Federais do Rio Grande do Sul

Abstract

Public policies are directly linked to the formation of the Welfare State, so that in this way everyone is seen and treated equally. Law No. 12.711 / 2012, called the Quota Law, provides for admission to federal universities and federal high-level technical education institutions, with the aim of guaranteeing access to education for all. On November 18, 2011, entered into force the Law No. 12,527, known as the Lei de Acesso à Informação (LAI) [Access to Information Law], which deals with access to said public information and dealt in the government. LAI has active and passive transparency of information. Taking into consideration the study in question, the objective was to analyze the active and passive transparency of information related to quota policies on the websites of the Universities and Federal Institutes of Rio Grande do Sul (IFES). In methodological terms, the research is considered exploratory, through the gathering of primary data, in other words, collected exclusively for the investigated subject. The research approach has a qualitative character, observing the fact that the gaucho universities and federal institutes were analyzed and studied aiming to describe the methods of active and passive transparency of information in relation to the policies of admission/registration quotas in IFES. To perform data collection and analysis on the ten (10) IFES sites on active transparency, the content analysis method was used, which presents the analysis organization in three chronological orientations: preanalysis, material exploration and treatment, inference and interpretation. of the results. After the gathering, two categories were identified and named in relation to quota policies: “SISU” and “IFE's own institutional policy”. In the first category, three subcategories called “courses and vacancies”, “Law no. 12.711 / 2012” and “non-participating courses”. The second category has two subcategories: “affirmative actions of federal educational institutions” and “IFES selection process”. For the collection and analysis of passive transparency data, the information obtained from active transparency was used as a basis, and three questions were prepared and sent to IFES by e-sic. The waiting time for responses imposed by LAI is 20 days with the possibility of extension to another 10 days. After receiving the answers, they were analyzed using the EBT 360 ° Methodology checklist. The results of the analysis of the active and passive transparency of quota policy information indicate that the 10 IFES provide information on student entry, registration and permanence policies in these institutions in a clear and accessible manner. It was possible to realize that IFES seeks to fulfill the requirements imposed by LAI, disseminating and providing the information, making it accessible to everyone, being available to help people about the desired information, seekingto meet people's needs. It is concluded that in both active and passive transparency, there are ways for people to contact IFES to request information regarding quota policies, as the 10 IFES studied seek to fulfill with legal requirements and meet people.
