Despite the efforts by the federal government and some state governments, this expansion didn’t introduce significant diversification
on the Brazilian higher education landscape. Brazilian higher education is, traditionally, recognized in different institutional formats. However all institutions, both universities and non-universities, have the same right to award bachelors degrees and offering this training is the main focus of all institutions.
While the regulatory framework recognized new degree formats following the 1990s, diversification was resisted both by the institutions, especially the public universities, and by the society as a whole. Families and enterprises continue to devalue diplomas in favor of the traditional bachelor degree. The following text will explore in depth the institutional
dynamics that sustained this pattern of conservative expansion experienced by the Brazilian higher education during the last two decades.

We analyze affirmative action policies and legislation, and the impact of those policies on the equity of access. Research shows that affirmative action policies have had a positive impact on reducing inequalities in HE in Brazil, but secondary education is still the main bottleneck for further progress, both in terms of expanding higher education and of making access more equitable. We then analyze how expansion has been occurring differently by sector (public vs. private), and show some structural changes that are emerging in the private sector, in particular regarding the split between non-profit/for-profit private higher education and the recent growth in distance learning.
