The goal is to understand how the ways of control, resistance and professor consent are being developed in higher education private institutions from Campina Grande (Paraíba, Brazil).

In addition, research in labor courts, Ministry of Labor and Union Lecturer was conducted. Besides, Higher Education Census data were raised through Federal Information Access website. This survey revealed a consolidation process of new branch capital operations commanded by the state. So, higher education takes merchandise character and teaching profession adopted a proletarianised and productive work nature, tied to the social life‟s real subsumption process to the capital. Thus, private higher education is subjected to modern techniques of labor subjective management, which induce consent and conformity among professors, fueled by fear discipline.
