In the last twenty years, the Brazilian public university has become more black, popular and female than it has ever been in its entire history. This article reviews this generation of inclusive policies from an autobiographical perspective, prioritising the point of view of a professor who experienced these changes in university life. In 2004, the initial milestone was the adoption of the National High School Exam (ENEM), which changed the form of access and began to demand permanence policies aimed at the new profile of entrants, with investment in the expansion and internalisation of campuses, scholarships, food and transport. Since 2012, affirmative action policies, especially racial quotas, and the growth in demands for gender justice have broadened the meaning of inclusion beyond material support, bringing welcoming policies to the centre of the debate, aimed at promoting an environment free of discrimination, valuing diversity and paying attention to subjective issues that objectively affect university students' lives, such as suffering and depression. The conclusion looks at the current challenges of inclusive policies in order to consider the progress and limits of a university in transformation.
