Resumo: | As a signatory to Durban III World Conference against Racism, Discrimination, Xenophobia and other forms of Intolerance, Brazil has committed itself to the enforcement of mechanisms to promote social equity. As a consequence, governmental programs have been implemented, aiming at the inclusion of Afro-descendents in higher education. Actually, the quantity of such students in the academy is minimal and does not relate to what can be observed in the general population. As an example of such endeavor, Universidade de Brasilia (UnB) has started an Affirmative Action program in order to include a contingent of 20% of its freshman students as representatives of racial underprivileged groups. This policy started in August 2004. The present study aimed to investigate the perceptions of students and general public to this policy. An instrument, based partially on McConahay´s (1996) Modern Racism scale, was administered to a sample of 316 students. A factor analysis (AF) extracted five factors, corresponding to 48% of the total variance explained. An Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was performed to better understand the results, concerning both age and gender of the subjects. Results show that, although students demonstrated interest in the implementing of Affirmative Action programs, and are aware of the relevance of such procedures to the cultural and social structure of the community, they do not agree with their reasons or measures taken, or to the existence of the problem itself. |

Como consequência, diversos programas governamentais foram concebidos, buscando a inclusão social de afrodescendentes na educação superior. De fato, a quantidade de tais estudantes na academia é mínima e não se aproxima do que pode ser observado na população como um todo. Como um exemplo deste esforço, a Universidade de Brasília (UnB) começou um programa de Ação Afirmativa com o objetivo de incluir 20% de seus calouros como representantes dos grupos raciais minoritários. Essa política iniciou em agosto de 2004. O presente estudo buscou investigar as percepções de alunos e do público em geral sobre esta política. Um instrumento, baseado parcialmente de Escala de Racismo Moderno de McConahay (1996) foi administrado a uma amostra de 316 alunos. A Análise Fatorial (AF) extraiu fatores correspondentes a 48% da variância total explicada. Foi executada uma Análise de Variância (ANOVA) para melhor compreensão dos dados, no que se refere a idade e gênero dos sujeitos. Os resultados apontam para que, apesar de os estudantes demonstrarem interesse no processo de implantação de programas de Ação Afirmativa, e estarem conscientes da relevância de tais procedimentos para a estrutura social e cultural da comunidade, não existe concordância quanto às suas razões e medidas tomadas, ou com a própria existência do problema.Editora Mackenzie2010-03-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado por paresPesquisa Empíricaapplication/pdfhttps://editorarevistas.mackenzie.br/index.php/RAM/article/view/1754Revista de Administração Mackenzie; Vol. 11 No. 3 (2010): Thematic Special Edition on Diversity and Inclusion in OrganizationsRevista de Administração Mackenzie; Vol. 11 Núm. 3 (2010): Edición Especial Temática en Diversidad y Inclusión en OrganizacionesRevista de Administração Mackenzie (Mackenzie Management Review); v. 11 n. 3 (2010): Edição Especial Temática sobre Diversidade e Inclusão nas Organizações1678-69711518-6776reponame:RAM.
