The Mexican Consortium of Universities (Spanish: Consorcio de Universidades Mexicanas, CUMEX) is a selective group of Mexican public higher education institutions, recognized by their higher quality standards.

[citation needed] Founded in May 2005, CUMEX has established a rigorous selection system.

Members must be affiliated with the "umbrella" national association of universities (ANUIES by its acronym in Spanish).

However, not all ANUIES members are able to comply with the eligibility criteria established at CUMEX.

The General Assembly elects a president among the rectors of the member institutions.
