Abstract

The objectives of this article are to analyze the processes that involved the creation of higher education institutions in Goiás through the initiative of public and private institutions, which resulted in the installation of the University of Goiaz – current Pontifical Catholic University of Goiás – and of the Federal University of Goiás in the city of Goiânia and verify the public-political and private-business actions that promoted the intensification of the interiorization of higher education in the state, especially those that gave rise to the Municipal Foundations and the establishment of the State University of Goiás. We focus our investigations and analyzes on official documents – laws, decrees, resolutions, ordinances – and on bibliographic material, more specifically, on theses, dissertations, books, articles and other academic-scientific publications directly and indirectly related to the central theme of this study. We note that the implementation and expansion of higher education in Goiás should not only be considered for its perspective of success, but also for the existence of several contradictions and complexity of the divergences and political convergences that produced countless projects for the creation and installation of colleges and universities. universities in the most different locations in the state.
