This research, developed from Public Politics of Higher Education thematic area, has three main objectives: 1) To discuss about the establishment of quota policy in Brazilian Higher Education; 2) To verify its deployment in Federal University of Pará (UFPA); and 3) To examine the impacts of this policy on the admission of black people in the graduation courses of its university. For this purpose, applying quanti-qualitative methods, the data were obtained by document search from different sources and performed interviews with members of Working Group responsible for the official purpose of Affirmative Action Policy of UFPA, in order to dialogue about the documentary data. The analytical perspective, that has guided us, was the Content Analysis. The results indicate a higher entrance of black and public school students after adoption of this policy. However, they also highlight deformities on the adoption of racial quotas by this University.
