Findings ”“ The performance of the higher education regulatory bodies, from a recent historical perspective, was not able to effectively guarantee the public interest.

Practical implications ”“ The paper measures how public interest is influences higher education regulatory bodies behavior in Brazil.

Originality/value ”“ The article addresses regulatory design in higher education in Brazil in light of constitutional principles.
