Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Federal University of Acre”, the useful work is to connect “public university in the state of Acre, Brazil” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The record creator and administrative purpose are central evidence, because official documentation reflects both action and institutional priorities. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q10387829. VIAF identifies the subject as 146666250. The Library of Congress control number is n86106403. Authority coordinates are -9.957, -67.865. 3 of 5 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1964, 1971, 1974 and 2012.
Official terminology may obscure informal participation, dissent or communities documented only indirectly. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
