This is a thesis which tackles the subject of the implementation of the Quota Laws and the discussion of the Affirmative Action Policies in the IFRS (Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Sul). The identfication and adoption of Affirmative Action in face of a reduction in social inequality within the IFRS is the focus of this piece of research. The investigation of the issues within this topic in the context of IFRS led to the raising of three questions. The first was concerning the importance of actually having Affirmative Action policies within the institution. The second asked why was this internal policy thought about only after the approval of Law 12.711/12, and the third challenges the real value of the use of Quota Laws and policies of Affirmative Action as effective tools of racial equality.Therefore, the objective of this research was to analze the impact this policy had within IFRS from a reduction of racial inequality perspective. Qualitative analysis was carried out through the method of participative observation in Affirmative Action workgroups. Also, socio-economic analysis was performed on the student intake who entered the institution via the reserved minority places in the winter entrance exam for the Erechim campus. In addition to this, documental analysis was also performed on the Affirmative Action charter which forms the basis of IFRS´s policy. Further analysis was also performed on the racial profile of the candidates as provided by the Institution. The results show that in the entrance exams of 2013 and 2014, the adoption of quotas led to a significant increase in black students with a low-income background, yet highlighted the immediate need to professionally train and qualify the civil servants who execute the quota law in their day to day duties. It was noted that the adoption of Affirmative Action policies does not carry a broad consensus within the Institution and that the rules were executed, analized and decided only considering the balance of power game which exists within the Institution. Although the adoption of Affirmative Action policies within IFRS is carried out promptly and without an adequate systematic framework, both within the compulsory execution of the law as well as in the non-compulsory internal policies, it touches on two fundamental rights: the right of redress and the right to basic conditions of equality within the student body of a Public Institution.
