Crise do financiamento do ensino superior: o caso da universidade estadual da Paraíba na vigência da lei nº 7.643/2004

Abstract

The State University of Paraiba - UEPB is a state autarchy of higher education, linked to the State Secretariat of Education, maintained mainly with resources of the state gov- ernment. Going through successive financial crises in recent years, due to the decrease of its share in the collection of state revenue. This study has as a central research focus the links of the public university for development. Our objective is to verify the applica- tion of Law 7,643 / 2004 and, specifically as a case study, to analyze the materialization of the inflow of state resources into the UEPB due to the validity of this law, which dis- ciplined its main form of financing: the state public treasury. It is a research of the ex- ploratory and descriptive type, having as method of approach the problem the quantita- tive research. We carried out a case study in the UEPB, with bibliographical and docu- mentary research, since in addition to the survey of theoretical references already ana- lyzed and published through scientific articles, books, website of the institution, there was also the analysis of sources without analytical treatment , accounting and manage- ment reports. The financial crisis suffered by this IES is the result of a historical reality of exploitation, implanted by the dependent capitalism that lasts until the present day, which the hegemonic nations have availed themselves to these countries in search of new markets to dominate and to enjoy their riches. UEPB reflects the national process that reduces the volume of public resources invested by its sponsor in its activities, pre- carious. In this sense, the model of dependent development adopted influences the in- ternal routine of public institutions of higher education and compromises its destiny.
