Abstract

The following article aims to concisely analyze the principle of university autonomy and its legal and constitutional dimensions in Brazilian law. Preambularly, a brief timeline about the institute in the national legal system is drawn, going through several historical-legislative moments until its acclamation in article 207 of the 1988 Federal Constitution. Then, the constitutional rules regarding education are examined, also exploring the content of the art. 207. With the constitutional perspectives about the matter delimited, the work also seeks to present a legal overview of the principle of university autonomy and of the educational matter itself. Finally, the paper discusses the four distinct and specific dimensions of university autonomy. Namely, didactic autonomy, scientific autonomy, administrative autonomy and financial and patrimonial autonomy are examined.
