This article shows the changes that have occurred in Brazil's higher education in recent decades, as policies have been implemented to expand the supply of private and public education while creating policies focused on equity. In this context, the paper analyzes geographical, racial/ethnic, socioeconomic, and educational inequity based on the official data on the general population and students in private and public institutions in 2004 and 2010. Also shown are the society's inequities of income, average schooling, and race/ethnic group and their reproduction in higher education, in amplified form. The conclusion is that in spite of continued inequity, the data reveal a positive impact on equity, possibly as a consequence of the implemented policies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
