Apesar da divergência nas opiniões sobre o Sistema de Cotas raciais, aprovado pelo Conselho
Universitário da Universidade de Brasília, pioneira no que se refere ao tema, outras
universidades, amparadas por lei federal, também adotaram o referido sistema. A autora se
propôs discutir duas questões que parecem se repetir ao longo desses anos de debates, dentro e
fora dos muros acadêmicos: “1. O Sistema de Cotas estabelecido para cumprir ação afirmativa
decorrente da Política afirmativa adotada no Brasil teve impacto positivo no acesso da
população negra à UnB?; 2. O Sistema de Cotas como é praticado na Universidade de Brasília
é um modelo que contempla a igualdade de direitos para todos, sem discriminação de cor, etnia,
sexo ou classe social?” Para reunir informações sobre essas questões, a autora pesquisou fontes
bibliográficas, realizou pesquisa de campo indagando opiniões de alunos da Universidade, entre
eles, cotista, e recorreu a docentes da UnB que de alguma forma cooperaram na implantação e
operação do sistema de cotas; foram consultados ainda funcionários do Ministério da Educação
que opinaram sobre o sistema de cotas adotado nas universidades brasileiras. Os resultados dos
questionários e da entrevista foram reunidos e analisados à luz das fontes bibliográficas,
conforme consta dos respectivos títulos em que se abordam a esse respeito; foram relacionados
ainda neste trabalho alguns resumos e documentos publicados que constituem acervo de
informações referentes ao tema que, sem dúvida, contribuirão para o aperfeiçoamento de
projetos que mirem a redução das desigualdades nos diversos setores da sociedade brasileira.
Despite contrasting opinions about racial quotas system, it was previously passed by the university council of Brasília University (UnB), which was pioneering in this area; later, other national universities, covered by federal law, also adopted this system. In relation to that topic, this paper relies on two issues that have been frequently discussed inside and outside universities over the years: “1. has the racial quotas system stablished as a result of Affirmative Action Policies adopted in Brazil positively affected in the access of afro-brazilians to UnB? 2. do the current racial quotas system in force in Brasília University set a pattern for other institutions in accordance with the equality of rights, without any kind of racial, ethnic or social class discrimination?”. In order to answer these two questions, an amount of bibliographic sources was collected and field research was conducted in which UnB undergraduate degree students, including quota holder ones, and professors who, in somehow, collaborated to introduce quotas system in the university were asked to share their thoughts about that topic. In addition to this, some servants of Ministry of Education were also invited to share their opinion about quotas system implemented in Brazilian universities. All the answers collected by questionnaires and interviews were gathered and analyzed based on bibliographic sources previously studied, as it will be seen in some titles in this paper. Moreover, a few abstracts and published documents that constitute an information asset about that topic were added to this paper due to contribute to affirmative actions’ improvement towards reduce inequality in multiple sections of Brazilian society.
