Two slates are running for the rector’s mandate from 2022 to 2026: USP Viva – formed by Professor Carlos Gilberto Carlotti Júnior, from USP’s Faculty of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto, candidate for rector, and by professor Maria Arminda do Nascimento Arruda, candidate for vice rector -, and Somos Todos USP – formed by professor Antonio Carlos Hernandes, from the São Carlos Institute of Physics, candidate for dean, and by professor Maria Aparecida de Andrade Moreira Machado, from the Bauru Dentistry School, USP, as vice dean candidate .

The two interviews were carried out live and the order of each slate was established by drawing lots. The time to expose their ideas was 20 minutes, with four equal questions for each ticket, with a response time of three minutes.
