It quantifies and compares ENEM score distributions, including cutoff and average scores for quota versus non-quota students. Results indicate that the greater diversity produced by quotas—reflecting public-school background, poverty, and minority status—does not imply admission of students with significantly lower performance, because sufficient potential quota students come from the top score deciles.","ARTICLES  \n[https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v28i69.4427](https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v28i69.4427)  \nDO PUBLIC UNIVERSITY QUOTAS LOWER THE QUALITY OF ENTRANTS?  \nLara ViLeLa  \nThiago Yudi Tachibananaercio Menezes FiLho bruno KoMaTsu  \nTransLaTed bY Patrick hall  \nabsTracT  \nThis article uses microdata from the National High School Exam (ENEM) and the Higher Education Census to make simulations of the effects of quotas, and quantifies and qualifies their estimated effects on the access of students to federal universities, including the distribution of ENEM scores as well as the cutoff and average scores for quota and non-quota students. The results show that the greater diversity (in terms of public school, poor and minority students) in federal universities caused by the introduction of the quota system has not led to the admission of students with significantly lower scores when compared to the scenario without quotas. This is due to the existence of potential quota students whose scores are in the highest score decile in sufficient numbers to fill the reserved places.  \nKeYwords Quotas • Public universities • Public Policy • academic Performance.  \n652 Est.
