Rio de Janeiro State Law 3,708 established a quota of up to 40 percent for Black and Brown applicants at the State University of Rio de Janeiro and the State University of Northern Fluminense. The policy followed organized demands for redress in a higher-education system shaped by unequal access and racial exclusion. It was an early state-level experiment, preceding Brazil’s later national federal-university quota framework. Quota design and implementation remained contested, and the law was later revised as policy moved toward broader criteria and review.
