During the 1968 university reform, the University of São Paulo discussed several proposals for its reorganization, albeit disagreement was rife. In several units of USP committees of teachers, students and staff, with equal representations, were urged to formulate proposals and give suggestions on how USP should be. Their proposals had a common basis: they conceived an integrated university and the establishment of flexible curricula. They believed it was viable to replace all the USP faculties by institutes. A Curriculum Board would be established to organize the reform and to be one of its basis. Current research analyzes the different proposals made by the USP academic community in 1968.
