Objectives of this university model[]
To decentralize higher education:[3]
To avoid the concentration of academic and scientific resources in areas that are becoming disproportionately strong and increasingly differentiated from the rest of the country.
To prevent the human decapitalization of the most disadvantaged regions, which due to the lack of educational opportunities, the communities see young generations leave at an early age that facilitates their permanent uprooting, due to the emotional and sentimental ties and interests that are produced in the place of residence, and which makes their recovery practically impossible.
To improve knowledge of the economic resources of the concerned region, in order to lay the foundations for sound economic and social development.
To train social leaders in the public and private spheres.
To introduce a professional elite into a society that lacks one, to serve as a catalyst for transformation.
To improve the cultural competitiveness of the area of influence of the respective university, by combining the reception of ideas and modernizing concepts, with the conservation and reinforcement of the own values.
To contribute, in a globalized world, to the competitiveness of the economy of Oaxaca and Mexico, seeking the highest standards of quality in teaching and research, without any kind of absurd inferiority complex.
