About this title

Synopsis

The Brazilian Federal Government's budgetary resources allocated to Federal Higher Education Institutions (IFES) have not been sufficient to promote the maintenance and growth of these institutions. As a result, federal universities have been earning their own resources by providing services to the community. Among the IFES that generate their own resources, the University of Brasília (UnB) stands out in terms of the volume of resources collected, with most of this collection being carried out by the Centre for Selection and Promotion of Events (CESPE). UnB applies these resources to the maintenance of infrastructure, and part of it is allocated to the University Restaurant (RU). Over the last seven years, R$ 42.1 million has been invested, since the funds generated by food services do not cover costs/expenses. 10% of students benefit from food grants; however, the study reveals that most RU users are students without food grants and civil servants. In 2006, an average of 3,444 meals were served, and the deficit was R$ 6.9 million. The book is aimed at researchers in the field of public management, undergraduate and postgraduate students.
