Ufac Elections: 'Dialoguing with People' Proposes Combating Harassment and Structural Improvements; See Proposals

The 'Dialoguing with People and Building the Future' slate, led by Josimar Batista Ferreira and Marco Antonio Amaro, outlines proposals for combating harassment and enhancing infrastructure at the Federal University of Acre as part of upcoming elections.

The 'Dialoguing with People and Building the Future' slate, led by candidates Josimar Batista Ferreira for rector and Marco Antonio Amaro for vice-rector, is competing in the upcoming elections at the Federal University of Acre (Ufac), scheduled to take place online on March 19. This election is significant as it will determine the university's management for the next four-year term from 2026 to 2030. To win in the first round, a slate must secure over 50% of valid votes; otherwise, a second round will occur on March 26 with the top two slates.

Key themes of the slate's campaign include an emphasis on diversity and actively engaging with the university community. Josimar Batista highlighted the importance of a management style that prioritizes these elements, aiming to foster a more inclusive and responsive administration that addresses the needs of students and faculty alike. This approach comes at a time when discussions around harassment and structural improvements within academic institutions are gaining attention.

The outcomes of these elections could have broad implications for the future of Ufac, influencing policies related to student welfare, campus safety, and the overall academic environment. The push for combating harassment, in particular, aligns with a growing national discourse surrounding gender and wellbeing in educational settings, making these elections not only a local concern but also a reflection of wider societal issues.
