Public universities, as institutions from the Mexican State provided with academic and administrative autonomy derived from the 3^rd constitutional article in its VII fraction, represent the concretion of a university ideal in favor of progress when fulfilling a socio-cultural function that must be oriented by axiological values and principles which fundament their reason to exist, this supposes a set of responsibilities for those who are benefited from that function. The study of these principles' characteristics gives us the opportunity to discuss about the juridical problems public university in Mexico must nowadays consider. It is because of this that the article hereby presented starts from the constitutional theory to discover the perspective offered by the principles in the origin, development and immediate future of Mexican public university.
