kadup@lemmy.world 3 days agoThe best universities in Brazil, the ones everyone wants to study at and the ones producing cutting edge research… Are all free, they’re public universities. The private ones can’t compete on most metrics.
So yeah, maybe americans should drop the whole “first world” tag to pretend they’re special and rebalance their priorities.

Maybe my phrasing was a bit accidentally misleading - when I mentioned they are where everyone wants to study at or the ones publishing the most research, I meant locally, for Brazilians and to some extent our LATAM neighbors.
That’s why you probably never heard of them by name, they don’t carry the weight of an “Oxford” or “Tokyo University”.
That said, you absolutely interacted with fruits of their research. The term “ultra processed food” comes from the University of São Paulo and their research.

They research a bunch of great stuff. A friend of mine was involved in this one vaccine against crack and cocaine addiction from UFMG.

American public universities used to be free. But a lot of students protested things like racism and the Vietnam War so Ronald Reagan as governor of California and later as president worked hard to ensure that American students had to pay lest they have the time and financial freedom to exercise their rights
