In order to evince abuses against the right to professors’ autonomy, I conducted a qualitative research. In these lines, I describe and analyze critically specific cases of abuse, which were related to teaching techniques, homogenization, institutional activities, biased assessments, nonage attitudes, institutional dependency, professors’ contracts and their salaries. In this article, I do not intend to give an ultimatum or to minimize responsibilities but, on the contrary, to open a discussion.
