Understanding the problem of an unequal society as part of the Brazilian social formation, based on the construction of social injustices, the challenges of ethnic-racial quotas of a socio-racial nature are related as a way of guaranteeing access for economically vulnerable black students at an intersectional level with the discussion on material and symbolic permanence in an unequal society based on existing experiences of public policies aimed at school permanence in higher education. These policies, for the most part, act universally, not understanding the intersectionalities built around the possibility of these students staying at the university. In this sense, this summary is the result of a literature review and the beginning of immersion in the field at the University of UnB about the access and permanence of incoming undergraduate students through ethnic-racial quotas. It is understood, therefore, that there is a racial cleavage that is directly related to the possibility of affiliation in higher education. This cleavage is due to the unequal society constituted around the political domination that challenges the institutions from the construction of narcissistic pacts around the maintenance of certain identities as the skeleton of these institutions.
