USP Assembly Ranks Aluísio Segurado First for Rector

The list now goes to Governor Tarcísio de Freitas for appointment, with budget predictability at stake under the 2026 tax reform.

Overview

  • An online assembly of roughly 2,000–2,230 electors placed the USP Pelas Pessoas ticket first, followed by Nossa USP (Ana Lanna) and USP Novo Tempo (Marcílio Alves).
  • The ranked list now goes to Governor Tarcísio de Freitas, who may appoint any of the three candidates.
  • Segurado earlier led the indicative community consultation with 4,969 votes, ahead of Lanna with 4,062 and Alves with 1,967.
  • All three tickets come from the outgoing administration of rector Carlos Gilberto Carlotti Júnior, signaling managerial continuity.
  • The appointee is expected to take office in January 2026 as USP negotiates preservation of its 5% ICMS-linked funding—about R$8.1 billion in 2025—during the shift to an IBS in 2026.
