The aim of the present article is to analyze the influence of external assessment, an essential part of the current Sistema Nacional de Avaliação da Educação Superior [National System of Evaluation in Higher Education]. It was conducted in loco in two institutions of higher education, one public and one private, in the state of Paraná. It is an empirical study, and the data were collected through semi-structured interviews conducted with institutional directors and coordinators of graduate programs. The analysis permitted the authors to verify some limits of the current assessment system, related to: the participating subjects’ lack of knowledge of the assessment assumptions; the time allocated to the assessment process; the method of choice of evaluators at each stage; the lack of policies based on data generated by the system; and, the increasingly explicit conversion of assessment into a control mechanism of institutional practices, which makes the autonomy of the subjects, who work in higher education, impossible.
