O REUNI em foco: as diferentes versões dos diagnósticos realizados pelo MEC, Andes-SN e Comissão Mista

Abstract

This article aims to present the Support Program for Plans of Restructuring and Expansion of Federal Universities - REUNI, established by Decree 6,096, of April 24, 2007, in its legal aspects and guidelines, weaving an analysis of what has been discussed on the effects of expansion, in the versions prepared by MEC, Andes – SN and Joint Commission - set up by Ordinance No. 126 of July 19, 2012 and No. 148 of September 19, 2012 of MEC. We developed this article focused on the concepts of public sphere, in the perspective of Habermas, and accountability, in trying to understand how they are developing diagnostics on the expansion of federal universities through REUNI program and how the discourses on this expansion are preparing the formation of public opinion. The methodological framework discussed in this article is the bibliographic and documentary research. Three axes of analysis were established to guide the approach of the sources: I) physical infrastructure, II) academic restructuring, III) expansion slots. As a result we can state that the versions on REUNI will present points of convergence and divergence, that were indicated throughout the text, and we could see almost a void of information by the MEC, with data only on the first year of the REUNI; placement contrary to the REUNI by Andes - SN and the vision of success of the REUNI by the Joint Commission. In addition, each version searches search form public opinion to concurrently process accountability.
