Therefore, we have acknowledged the history of higher education in Brazil, investigating the factors that guide and interfere in the university s autonomy. Moreover, we aimed to investigate how social, political and economic factors influence and interfere in these institutions, indicating until what point the universities have autonomy in their educative, administrative and financial actions. Objecting to collect real data we did six interviews with both public and private university presidents in Sao Paulo state. This collected data was articulated with our theoretical referential in order to develop a critical and problematical analysis. The results obtained reflects that the universities still don t have the autonomy level desired by the majority of the people interviewed and the area experts. However, the fight for a more autonomous university is alive. The university s autonomy is a process that can be taken. We expect by the end of this research to contribute to the discussions regarding the higher education in Brazil. / O presente estudo tem como principal problem?tica a contextualiza??o da autonomia das universidades em rela??o aos ?rg?os superiores, dentro do atual ide?rio neoliberal. Procuramos conhecer a hist?ria da educa??o superior, investigar os fatores que regem e interferem na autonomia das universidades, analisar como os elementos sociais, pol?ticos e econ?micos influenciam e interv?m nessas institui??es e por fim, constatar at? que ponto as universidades t?m autonomia nas suas a??es educativas, administrativas e financeiras. A fim de coletar dados da realidade realizamos seis entrevistas com gestores de universidades p?blicas e privadas do estado de S?o Paulo. Esses dados foram articulados com nosso referencial te?rico para uma an?lise cr?tica da problem?tica. Os resultados mostraram que as universidades ainda n?o possuem o grau de autonomia desejado pela maioria dos entrevistados e estudiosos da ?rea, mas a luta por uma universidade mais aut?noma est? viva. A autonomia universit?ria constitui-se como um processo poss?vel de realiza??o. Esperamos, com o t?rmino deste trabalho, contribuir para as discuss?es em rela??o ao ensino superior brasileiro.

<p>The objective of this research was to investigate the relationships between the political change and the access policy changes in Madagascar since independence. In this study qualitative and quantitative data were used. The qualitative research consisted of eleven in-depth interviews and the collection of policy documents from 1960 to 2008. Open-ended questionnaires were utilized to collect data and to achieve the objectives of the research. Policy documents were analyzed to identify government policy changes. The main findings from the research showed that access policy changed with each major change in political leadership. Four major political periods and four respective main access policy changes were identified from 1960 to 2008. Higher education policy in general changed when there was a major change in presidential leadership. The main conclusions of this study were that access policy changes were the result of major changes in presidential leadership and that in spite of rhetoric to the contrary, universities did not have the autonomy to resist changes in access policy because of the top-down state system and the institutional financial dependence on the national government.</p>
