This is the building of my faculty, the FFLCH (Faculdade de Filosofia, Letras e Ciências Humanas). Last week, when this picture was taken, this part of the university declared a strike. That's why you don't see any students in the picture, but only this huge poster over the entrance.
The problem was a veto of the minister of Sao Paulo. He vetoed against a rise in university finances. Then the assembly of Sao Paulo State has about two weeks to veto that veto and get the rise through anyway. To put some pressure on the parlamentarians the students and employees (but not the teachers) decided to strike. I didn't see too much sense in that, but at least that way I gained some time to catch up with my readings...
