Profit-making in higher education engages controversial issues and debates involving the proper bounds of market activity. While it is widely recognised that many non-profit institutions engage in profit-making, this article deals with those institutions that are legally allowed to distribute revenues among shareholders and specifically focuses on Brazil – one of the world’s largest higher education for-profit sub-sectors.
Although Article 53 of the general law of education (LGE), establishes that non-state universities are corporations with a private right, there have been many complaints that demonstrate how these institutions have violated the spirit of the law by making the private education system a highly profitable business.
En el marco de la tramitación del proyecto de ley que crea una Superintendencia de Educación Superior (boletín 8041-04), los senadores Patricio Walker y Camilo Escalona presentaron el proyecto de ley que tipifica como delito la infracción de las obligaciones, en caso de operaciones con personas relacionadas, por parte de los directores, gerentes y administradores de instituciones de educación superior.
