Principles

In addition to the established mission of all public television stations, the University Licensee Association would put emphasis on the following Core Principles:

Make the unique resources of higher education available to the public television system through programs, research and technology.

Strengthen the unique role our stations play in our licensee institutions in providing outreach and lifelong learning programs and community engaged services.

Work to ensure that the missions of universities and colleges -- including research, public service, and instruction -- are represented in the visions of our national organizations, and that our stations' special financial and administrative circumstances, as units of larger educational institutions, are understood and addressed by those national organizations.

Serve as a clearing house of ideas and information that encourages collaboration between stations and the pursuit of shared opportunities that best sustain, extend and grow local programming and services.
