Abstract

From the 2000s, affirmative policies began to be implemented in brazilian higher
education, aiming to increase access to the black population at this level of education and the reduction
of racial inequalities. The Law nº 12.711/2012 determined the adoption of affirmative policy by all federal
institutions of higher education. The present work proposes a reflection about these affirmative policies,
aiming to elaborate a critical analysis in relation to their results, answering the question: are the affirmative
policies implemented in Brazilian public higher education helping to increase access to the black
population? The research used the tracing of affirmative policies implemented and correlation analyzes
and multiple linear regression to evaluate the effectiveness of affirmative racial policies, considering the
expansion of access to higher education to the black population.
