Transparência ativa das universidades federais brasileiras.

Abstract

This study aims to verify the level of active transparency of 63 Brazilian federal universities, based on the information actively made available on the websites of these institutions. For this purpose, a University Public Management Transparency Index (ITGP-Univers) was built, based on the Active Transparency Guide (GTA) for bodies and entities of the Federal Executive Branch, produced by the Comptroller General of the Union (CGU), and other studies that address transparency in public management. The present research is considered exploratory and documentary with a quantitative approach, using statistical methods, in which a ranking of these higher education institutions was prepared based on the ITGP-Univers achieved by them. The study is justified by the fact that it makes it possible to identify the level of adherence of the sites of these institutions to the Brazilian laws and regulations that currently govern the mandatory disclosure of information.
