Law on Access to Information, Active Transparency, Public Universities.
This research aims to analyze whether the Public Higher Education Institutions of Ceará (IESPs) meet the provisions of the Access to Information Law regarding active transparency. For this, descriptive research was carried out, with the collection of documentary data, using the artifacts of qualitative and quantitative research to link and discuss the results and the document analysis technique. As the main results, it was found that the Federal Universities reached a satisfactory average of more than 80% of the maximum score, but do not make their information available in an updated way, especially on the Open Data portal. State Universities, on the other hand, fall short in the provision of information on their pages and in meeting the minimum requirements for active transparency. Only one of the states reached 56.25% of the total of 24 points, the others scored below 45%. It was thus concluded, from the analysis, that none of the IESPs fully complied with the legally required active transparency. However, the effort of institutions to disseminate their information on the portals and seek to be, even if minimally, transparent, is perceptible
