A gestão superior da Universidade Federal do Pará no contexto do PDI

Abstract

This work deals with the Management that the Institutional Development Plan (PDI) of the Federal University of Pará orients to the UFPA, resulting from a bibliographical research, whose purpose was to analyze how the UFPA management is configured and its relation with such Program is configured. In order to collect data, I used the document analysis method through which I investigated the official documents that provided important data for this research, which were collected in documents such as decrees, laws, educational reforms, resolutions, plans, projects and governmental guidelines , which made it possible to verify the theoretical and practical management issues, as well as the managerial management model and its relationship with the Neoliberal State and Higher Education reforms. From the analysis undertaken, I came to the conclusion that UFPA's university management is managerial and that the Institutional Development Plan is an instrument of this management model, as a result of strategic planning. In this perspective, I realized that the management implemented in UFPA is part of a project articulated to neoliberal policies, which determine the reduction of State expenditures with public measures for education, health and other social areas, provoking privatizations, harming the Institution's autonomy and demanding productivity, with reduced investments, which can lead to losses in the quality of teaching, research and extension.
