Calendar of activities is suspended and will resume after the end of shutdowns
 
The four federal universities located in the State of Rio de Janeiro classes do not start the second half as long as the teacher strike that began on May 17. In all institutions the schedule of activities is suspended and will resume after the end of the downtime. In none of the institutions was made official the loss of half, although teachers and students to consider the possibility.

The research activities and care in teaching hospitals continue, with specific losses, while the graduation activities are interrupted. Services that depend on non-essential employees, such as libraries, are generally unattended.

None of the universities had deadlock in graduate school, although Unirio (State Federal University of Rio de Janeiro) has opted for the official shutdown of these same activities.

Largest and oldest institution in the State, UFRJ (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro) has a strong strike in the area of human science, with more than 90% of teachers joining the strike. In the biological sciences, the membership is 60%. The other areas have 20% membership, according to estimates from the Association of Teachers of the UFRJ.

The statistics student, Arthur Khalil Inacio, said the research activities of the core involved were not interrupted.

- There can be two calendars at once, so even students who have not joined the strike are being forced to strike because we can not even enter in the field. Some courses completed the previous semester, others not.

The chemical engineering student Ricardo Wanderley also completed the previous semester, but began its activities this semester.

- Last semester the library had run at certain times when there were classes, but now stopped for good.

Among teachers the situation is similar, says the professor of the Institute of Chemistry, Magaly Albuquerque.

- The category is on strike. I did not go (on strike), but I had a class that entered. I finished those classes of the groups that went on strike and not a class was outstanding. The second half did not start in relation to graduation. It was possible to put the notes in the system only graduate. As the calendar is in postgraduate program activities will start soon. The program that I participate, for example, is starting next week.

According to the press office of the UFRJ, support activities carried out by administrative personnel in laboratories and libraries are paralyzed, while the attendance at the university hospital follows, with some compromise, with shortages of the technical staff.

In UFF (UFF), the union and the rectory did not estimate the number of employees standing in any of the categories. According to the association of teachers strike was even in graduate programs.

In UniRio stoppage was also part of graduate studies, she adds Clarissa Gurgel, the command to strike. Although information has been confirmed by the rector, none of the estimates have the number of postgraduate programs or undergraduate standing, despite reporting that there are striking teachers in all courses of the institution.

According to Oscar Gomes da Silva, coordinator general of the organization of Asunirio (Association of Workers in Education, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro State), remains active only the sectors closest to the rectory and Hospital Gaffrée and Guinle. Non-essential services such as libraries, follow still.

In UFRRJ (Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro) the paralysis reaches graduation, official calendar which has been suspended since May 23 and will be "fully reassembled" after the strike of teachers. Libraries and the veterinary hospital are also closed. There is activity in some graduate programs and research in specific nuclei.

At the site of UFRRJ was released the Circular No. 08/2012 GAB / SESU / MEC, signed by Henry Person Amaro Lins, Secretary of Higher Education of the Ministry of Education, dated August 3. In the document folder authorizes the termination of negotiations with the teachers, and states that "the expectation of MEC is that universities and federal institutes resume activities and classes suspended Put it back properly due to the stoppage, reducing the loss of students and all
academic community. "
