Given this scenario, this dissertation seeks to answer the question: how have Brazilian federal universities implemented student assistance policies for distance learning students, and what guidelines can be proposed to fill this gap? The central objective is to propose guidelines for an institutional student assistance policy aimed at distance learning, taking as a reference the case of the Federal University of Grande Dourados (UFGD). The research adopts a quantitative and qualitative approach, descriptive and exploratory in nature, based on bibliographic and documentary research, and content analysis. The empirical universe corresponds to the 69 Brazilian federal universities, constituting a census survey. The results reveal that, although 83.8% of universities offer distance learning undergraduate programs, only 5.9% reported having specific student assistance initiatives for this population. Most maintain programs focused exclusively on in-person learning, in accordance with the guidelines of the National Student Assistance Policy (PNAES/2024). Some institutions, such as UFPel, UFMS, UNIPAMPA, and UFERSA, have specific initiatives, but with a low level of institutionalization. In contrast, UFGD stands out as the only university to consolidate a structured policy for distance learning students, using its own institutional resources and offering emergency financial aid, initially targeted at the Letras-Libras program. Based on this analysis, a set of guidelines inspired by UFGD's experience is proposed, aiming to promote equality of conditions between in-person and distance learning students, strengthening access to and retention in public higher education. The study contributes both to the academic field, by filling a research gap on distance learning student assistance, and to institutional practice, by providing support for public policymaking.

Law No. 12,772, of December 28, 2012, was enacted to structure the Federal Teaching Career and Position Plan, as well as other career paths. Career development in higher education occurs through progression and promotion in the different classes and levels of the career, based on qualifications and professional performance. The overall objective of this study is to develop a proposal to amend the UFGD's Teaching Staff Evaluation Standards for Career Development in Higher Education, based on an analysis of the Resolutions governing career development at Brazilian federal universities. To this end, documentary research was used, with a qualitative approach, through documentary research, and document analysis. In addition to the regulations, specific documents addressing the topic were surveyed and analyzed, using as a parameter COUNI Resolution No. 377 of December 15, 2022 (revoked), which was replaced by COUNI Resolution No. 860 of May 29, 2025 (current), of the Federal University of Grande Dourados (UFGD). The proposed inclusions and changes complement the current Resolution in terms of career development in teaching, through the appreciation of the intellectual production of the employee, and the speed and transparency in the functional progression process.

The research question is to understand how UFGD and FUNAEPE managed resources decentralized by the Open University of Brazil (UAB) and the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) for the development of distance learning projects from 2014 to 2023. Thus, the overall objective of this study is to identify the advantages that Federal Universities obtain by contracting support foundations to manage resources decentralized by the UAB program and CAPES in the execution of distance learning projects, based on a case study of UFGD and its support foundation. This study adopted a qualitative approach, using case study and documentary research. The data sources include institutional websites from UFGD and FUNAEPE, as well as projects, financial reports, and other documents related to the projects under analysis. The research demonstrated that contracting with support foundations is a well-established and beneficial practice, bringing greater efficiency, agility, and security to resource management. While presenting some challenges, it is an effective model. It can be concluded that contracting with support foundations is beneficial because it helps make management more efficient, secure, and agile, allowing universities to focus their efforts on knowledge production and innovation. The UAB/CAPES project resource management model, implemented through contracting with support foundations, is a well-established practice at Federal Universities, with the potential to ensure greater transparency and efficiency in the execution of educational projects.

The research employed a qualitative approach and data collection procedures included bibliographical and documentary research, as well as interviews. The interviews were carried out online with six people selected from representation or work at the Gender and Sexual Diversity Studies Center (NEDGS) at UFGD. Gender and sexuality have been subjects of dispute for decades. Over the past century, these themes have gained increasing relevance and occurrence in the strengthening of social movements. The movements of women and homosexuals began to influence academic productions, contributing to the development of new theories of gender studies, built from a perspective of the social construction of gender, abandoning the biological vision, initiated with feminist theory and expanded by queer theory through the use of non-binary systems of social construction. In Brazil and around the world, issues related to gender identity and sexual orientation are gradually gaining ground in the public arena. It began with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) within the United Nations (UN), influencing several nations. In the case of Brazil, it influenced the Federal Constitution of 1988 and, consequently, subordinate laws in various areas. However, progress has been limited by conservatives, especially in recent years. In this social process, there is a university that has a socializing and fundamental role in the production of knowledge. The research revealed that constitutionally guaranteed university autonomy has enabled advancements in the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community, especially transgender individuals, albeit limited in the face of challenges faced by this minority. The search conducted on the websites of Brazilian federal universities identified 47 policies of social names usage, 14 affirmative action policies and two gender and sexual diversity policies, all of which were thoroughly analyzed. Regarding UFGD, the study demonstrated that institutional gender and sexual diversity policies aimed at the LGBTQIA+ community insufficient to ensure the right to equality and citizenship, especially for transvestites, transsexuals and transgender people. Additionally, the research identified that the policy of social names usage is limited to students, with no specific affirmative policies for transgender individuals, as well as the absence of a specific gender and sexual diversity policy, such as addressing discussions about gender-neutral restrooms, disseminating free courses on gender identity and sexual orientation, encouraging the integration of actions and projects related to LGBTQIA+ issues at the university, and fostering the development of the academic community, among other initiatives. Furthermore, the university lacks outreach campaigns and other actions that contribute to inclusion and the promotion of diversity.
