In this article, the authors explore the issues of health and institutional illness in higher education through the form of letters. In eight letters, the authors (who are professors at three different universities) discuss scenes and experiences that arise from their daily work. As a methodological resource, it was chosen 'cartagraphy', a combination of cartography (which values the process) and letter writing to describe the sentiments underlying the presented scenario. Undergraduate students' statement "everyone knows the university is getting sick" is used as a starting point for making a reading from the disruptive exercise that the polyphony of letters suggests. As much as this expression of suffering has an impact on the subjects (through feelings such as anxiety, exhaustion, racism, anguish, and non-belonging), its understanding must be viewed from a collective perspective. By focusing only on the individual level, it eliminates the political dimension and institutional implications. When determining factors are restricted to only one dimension, a number of crucial components for cartography disappear, namely, policies for active action by forces.
