Affirmative Actions and Forms of Access in Public Higher Education: The Case of Verification Commissions

ABSTRACT

After fifteen years of national discussion about implementing affirmative action policies for Black and Indigenous peoples, the policy’s effectivity faces challenges. One challenge is the efficacy of policies to include groups that should be beneficiaries. This article analyzes this national debate, policy actors and arguments, and takes the Universidade Federal Fluminense’s heteroidentification commission as a case study.
