  • Performance of Students Admitted Through Affirmative Action in Brazil.Latin American Research Review
    Valente, R R and Berry, B J L. Performance of Students Admitted through Affirmative Action in Brazil.Latin American Research Review. 2017; 52(1), pp. 18-34. DOI: https://doi.org/10.25222/larr.50 SOCIOLOGY Performance of Students Admitted through Affirmative Action in Brazil Rubia R. Valente and Brian J. L. Berry University of Texas at Dallas, US Corresponding author: Rubia R. Valente ([email protected]) Following the implementation of the Lei das Cotas (Affirmative Action Law) in Brazil, there has been debate as to whether students who were admitted through affirmative action perform at the same level as students admitted through traditional methods. This article examines the results of the Exame Nacional de Desempenho dos Estudantes (ENADE) from 2009 to 2012 to determine whether there is a relationship between students’ performance at the university level and the manner of their admittance. We find that students admitted to public universities under affirmative action perform at similar levels to students who were not, whereas quota students in private universities perform slightly better than students admitted through traditional methods. Com a implementação das Lei das Cotas no Brasil, tem se debatido se estudantes admitidos através de ação afirmativa demonstram o mesmo nível acadêmico dos estudantes admitidos através de métodos tradicionais. Este artigo analisa os resultados do Exame Nacional de Desempenho dos Estudantes (ENADE) durante o período de 2009 á 2012 para determinar se existe uma relação entre o desempenho dos alunos no âmbito universitário e as modalidades da sua admissão. Nossa análise revela que os estudantes que foram admitidos em universidades públicas através de ações afirmativas têm o mesmo desempenho acadêmico de estudantes que não se beneficiam de ações afirmativas, enquanto alunos cotistas em universidades privadas têm um desempenho ligeiramente melhor do que alunos admitidos através de métodos tradicionais.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Santa Barbara Assessing the Law of Social Quotas: A qualitative approach to the perspectives of black University Students in São Paulo A Thesis Submitted in Partial Satisfaction of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Latin American and Iberian Studies by Alexander K. Scarlett Committee in charge: Professor Howard Winant, Chair Professor David Lopez-Carr Professor Emiko Saldivar September 2016 The thesis of Alexander K. Scarlett is approved. ____________________________________________ David Lopez-Carr ____________________________________________ Emiko Saldivar ____________________________________________ Howard Winant, Committee Chair September 2016 ABSTRACT Assessing the Law of Social Quotas: A qualitative approach to the perspectives of black university students in São Paulo Alexander K. Scarlett This paper provides some preliminary understandings of how well the Brazilian law of Social Quotas is working since it’s passing in 2012, focusing on student attitudes toward this law, their progress towards university degrees, and presumably middle-class status. By interviewing ten students (selected largely from the educational non-profit, Educafro) from various universities throughout the city of São Paulo, this essay peers into the lives of black students enrolled in affirmative action programs. In addition to public university students, I also include private university students who have received financial assistance (grants, loans, and scholarships) from programs to increase accessibility for underrepresented communities. I chose black university students as my primary informants as they are the population most equipped to comment on and detail the successes and failures of affirmative action policies. I confirmed my hypothesis that black students would generally provide positive responses to the Law of Social Quotas, as the majority of informants reflected positively of the legislations.

I study gender differences in major choice and col- lege entrance probabilities in University of Campinas, a Brazilian public university dependent on the State of S~aoPaulo. As with most Brazilian public universities, students select a major, and then compete for a place in that major by taking a major-specific entrance exam. This singular characteristic of the Brazilian case allows me to differentiate the effect of gender on major-specific entrance probabilities and preferences.
