It analyzes how normative acts, whether veiled or not, deal with higher and distance education in Brazil, and how the conceptions of quality at this level and in this modality influence public policies for the sector. The research is bibliographic, qualitative and descriptive, of a documentary nature, and in addition to raising documents on higher and distance education, it analyzes the concepts of quality in them. The normative acts studied reveal the quality of distance education in an amorphous sense, since even with the instrumental-merco-economicist conception, documents with a critical-socially-referenced basis were also identified, both constituting the two perspectives of quality. Four points are identified that reveal the quality of higher education and distance in critically-socially referenced concepts: the principle of quality of education as a facet of educational law; the inseparability between teaching, research and extension; the establishment of proper assessment instruments; and public investment in public education. Reflections on these points reveal the logic of blunt and regulating neoliberal capitalism, which is constantly morphing and rearticulating itself to remain hegemonic, in an undertaking antagonistic to the Democratic Rule of Law itself.
