RESUMO

This study, which has as theme The path between the public and the Private: a study of the FIMES context, is settled in the Research area: State and Educational Policies of the Postgraduate Program in Education, Federal University of Goiás. It discusses and investigates the administrative classification and the legal nature of the educational institutions of Higher Education and, especially, the Fundação Integrada Municipal de Ensino Superior - FIMES, in relation to the public and private category. The research has as main objectives to reconstitute the FIMES history and to analyze the public/private relationship which permeates the origin of the Institution. The following research issues are raised: How has the sustainability of FIMES been planned since its origin? The higher education institutions which were created by the municipal public power but are not kept by it, are considered public or private? The theoretical-methodological reference focuses the educational legislation, both Brazilian and from the state of Goiás, as well as authors who have contributed to the debate related to educational policies, mainly those related to the politics which consolidates the public and the private relationship in the higher education. The investigation relies on the qualitative research, with the support of document analysis as well as semi-structured interviews, which were carried out with the subjects, who were involved with the project of the creation of FIMES: its idealization, settlement as an institution and the first years it operated. When bringing the institution history, the dilemma lived by FIMES is presented, since its origin, emphasizing the latest years, from 2006 on, in relation to the public/private category and the ways of financing the institution. A few possibilities are identified and analyzed using the current legislation, so as to solve this legal/institutional deadlock, which, however, depends on the decision of the Municipal Public Power, once the Institution was created by a municipal law, but it is maintained, among other projects, by students tuition.
