Em uma universidade pública que deveria ser porto seguro do conhecimento e da dignidade, estudantes da UFRJ chegaram a uma encruzilhada: após meses de assédio sexual sem resposta, refeições contaminadas e serviços administrativos paralisados, mais de 98 cursos se unem em greve nesta terça-feira para exigir que a instituição honre suas responsabilidades mais fundamentais. É o momento em que o silêncio institucional encontra o limite da paciência coletiva — e os estudantes escolhem a praça pública em vez dos corredores que os ignoraram.

Students experience reduced educational access, health risks from contaminated food, psychological harm from unresolved harassment, and financial strain from inadequate student assistance. This may increase dropout rates, reducing future earning potential and workforce productivity.
Potential need for increased federal funding to public universities, strengthened institutional governance and harassment protocols, improved food safety oversight, administrative staff compensation reviews, and enhanced student support systems. May trigger broader scrutiny of public university management and resource allocation.
