Duvidazitas:
1ª-Que é feito da "tal" Agência de Acreditação nacional, mencionada na listinha, por duas vezes? Isso existe mesmo?
2ª-Temos research universities? Quais são? O que fazem e o que não fazem elas, que as diferencia de todas as outras IES? É só uma internacionalização paga à parte, e iniciada por outros?
3º-Pobre da autonomia das "universidades fundacionais"; ou então os estatutos delas não descrevem o que realmente são --- refiro-me às formas do financiamento extra, fora das receitas privativas.
4º-O que querem dizer, na prática, os 3 desafios de futuro?
