Abstract
The primary objective of the study is to identify the benefits and challenges of a university autonomous status. The study employed the descriptive method using a questionnaire as the major data gathering instrument..The researcher also used analysis to synthesize and summarize the salient points on the benefits and challenges of university autonomy. Results show that University of Batangas is enjoying the benefits of autonomy status to a high extent. The university is also enjoying the other benefits of autonomous university as to philosophy and objectives; curriculum and instructions; faculty and staff; research; organization and administration; and student services and development to a high extent. Some of the challenges and difficulties of having an autonomous status are: (1) University officials are always tapped in national assemblies and activities which interfere with their duties and responsibilities in the universities (2) too much work for top and middle administrations and (3) too much expectations from the deans /department heads.
