The present study analyzed the compatibility of the constitutional principle of impersonality with the use of the selection of people by competences in the scope of federal public universities. Using a theoretical survey on the topics covered, it was possible to conduct a deductive reasoning on these institutes. Through a research of a basic nature, with an exploratory objective and data collection through bibliographical and documentary research, it can be concluded that this compatibility exists, but not in an absolute way, highlighting as one of the major obstacles the use by public managers of more objective practices and aligned with a more conservative interpretation of the legislation. At the same time, it was also possible to identify avant-garde experiences and episodes that prove that the applicability of the system depends more on administrative courage, political will and hermeneutic sophistication than on changes extrinsic to institutions.
