Abstract
The result of a research conducted with 69 secondary education federal institutions (IFES — Instituições Federais de Ensino Superior) from October 2020 to December 2020, through the information accessibility law (LAI — Lei de Acesso à Informação), this paper intends to present to researchers of Brazilian race relations, among other social actors, a Map of Brazilian Federal Universities’ Ethno-Racial Heteroidentification Committees, which can be useful when reviewing the quota law (Lei das Cotas), which is set to happen in 2022. Through the research expressed in the Map and in the data contained in this paper, we have found the existence of 94 Ethno-Racial Heteroidentification Committees in these universities, with various modus operandi, although a pattern can be seen: the use of phenotypical criteria, with the student present, to verify their ethno-racial identity as declared to the university. A few issues were also found when implementing or operationalizing these committees, such as disrespect towards some legal determinations for its functioning, which is indicated to have been prejudicial to the rightful subjects of ethno-racial sub quotas as determined by Law 12.711/2012: Black, Brown and Indigenous students.
