Abstract

This text is inspired by the discussion panel held at the XI ENEO, whose theme was Public University: a project in dispute in contemporary times. The reflections here represent different views about the university, being composed of the initial proposition by José Henrique de Faria, the replies by Pedro Demo and Elisângela de Jesus Furtado da Silva, and finally, the rejoinder by José Henrique de Faria. The discussion problematizes the organization's growing loss of autonomy, the historical contradictions and current dilemmas, and expresses faces of distinct political projects. It is considered that what is in dispute is not the public university project, but the project of Transformative Education and banking education, the first as emancipation and the second as reproduction. In this scenario, those who still defend the Public, Free, Quality and Socially Referenced University cannot be inattentive, alienated, omissive and passive before the projects that are in dispute.
