This study aims to investigate the Student Movement of the University of Amazonia (UNAMA), represented by the Central Student Directory (DCE), the highest student body founded in 1996. Its actions are developed in a private university, acquired by Grupo Ser Educational in 2014, a publicly traded for-profit company. Even under these conditions, its praxis goes beyond student agendas, reaches the unitary content of the working class, and recognizes that conflicts in society stem from contradictions between social classes. The general objective of the study was to examine the repercussions of the UNAMA acquisition process on the performance of this student movement. This is a documentary research, descriptive critic, using semi-structured interviews with students participating in this entity from 2006 to 2018. It was found that this company, by its modus operandi, determined by shareholder interests, and through Governance Corporate, influenced the orientations that reflected in the decline of this student movement. Actions such as: elimination of “transfer” (appeal destined to the DCE by the Institution); creation of the Class Representatives Council (CRT); establishment of censorship, vigilance and the culture of fear; suppression of student representation in higher councils and collegiate bodies; figure of the professional rector; structural reconfiguration of the university's physical spaces, etc., acted together towards the organizational and structural decline of the DCE / UNAMA. We consider that commercial educational companies, capital market trading traders, such as the Ser Educacional Group, resort to multiple authoritarian and undemocratic measures in order to stifle any critical student organization that questions their financial actions. However, even with the difficulties of rebuilding DCE / UNAMA, we found that students can still develop their actions through the Academic Centers, a sign of resistance that is latent in that University.
