Tec de Monterrey: Mission 2015
Tecnológico de Monterrey: Rising to the Challenges with Mission 2015
This is the statement of the principles and objectives set forth by the Tecnológico de Monterrey in order to become a major source of technological innovation, ethical leadership, and social progress in Mexico and Latin America:
"In the year 2015, Tecnológico de Monterrey will be the most widely recognized educational institution in Latin America, due to the leadership exercised by alumni in the private, public, and social sectors, and due to the research and technological development it carries out to promote a knowledge-based economy, generate management and business incubator models, improve public administration and policy-making, and create innovative models and systems for the sustainable development of the community.
With this new mission, Tecnológico de Monterrey takes a step forward in its commitment to Mexico: to play a more active and dynamic role in generating greater well-being in the country's communities. The new mission commits Tecnológico de Monterrey to evaluating its academic activities in the light of the educational, economic, social and political development it promotes through its alumni and research and development programs.
These principles constitute the foundation of the identity and unity of all Tecnológico de Monterrey campuses and academic entities. The regulations and norms that must be observed by all members of the educational community stem from these principles:
° Principle 1
Commitment by the members of Tecnológico de Monterrey's educational community to fundamental institutional values.
° Principle 2
Innovation, creativity, use of technology and entrepreneurial spirit.
° Principle 3
Civic responsibility and the rule of law.
° Principle 4

° Principle 5

° Principle 6
Equal opportunities for admission and retention of students.
° Principle 7

° Principle 8
Equal opportunity for faculty and employee access.
° Principle 9
Academic freedom.
° Principle 10
Protection of intellectual property.
° Principle 11
Freedom of expression.
° Principle 12
Openness to the debate of important issues.
° Principle 13

° Principle 14
Commitment to the holistic preparation of students by those working at Tecnológico de Monterrey.
° Principio 15

° Principle 16

I'm glad to see that such a prestigious, influential institution is aware of the challenges that lie ahead for Mexico, and of the changes that Mexican society desperately needs in order to one day take its place among the developed nations of the world. In particular, I am in strong agreement with the need to create a society with more social mobility, based on a free market economy.
