This study presents results of a study that investigated the contracts signed in the period 2000 to 2008, between the Federal University of Pará (UFPA) and municipalities in the state of Para, to offer full degree courses, funded by the the Fund for Maintenance and Development of Fundamental Education and Valorization (FUNDEF) for teachers of municipal education systems. To understand this problem, we developed the following questions: How is the financing policy implemented by the federal government for IFES during that period, and what are its relations with the reform of the state and higher education in the country? What is the policy of financing the process of internalization of the Federal University of Para and what is its relationship with the policy of offering courses of contract? What amount of public
funds from the municipal contracts between the Federal University of Pará and the
municipalities in the state, in the period highlighted? How were the proceeds applied to
contracts between the Federal University of Para and the municipalities in the state? We adopt the approach as a methodology quantitative and qualitative data and use documentary. As a result, we realize that the reform of the state, resulting from the financial crisis of capital, resulted in reconfiguration of the state's role in education, especially in regard to the law of higher education policy and funding for this level of education. Therefore, the Brazilianpublic university is experiencing a constitutional crisis, which manifests itself especially in the stagnation of the budget resources of the Federal Government for its maintenance. The resources provided by the federal government to fund public to bear the cost of higher education have realized the growing demand for people who seek this level of education. It was demonstrated in research that contract courses are a strategy for training of professionals with local matching funds for maintenance of the campus core and complementary salary of
professors who work in these courses.
