Abstract
The purpose of this research is studying about compatibility between the status of the Autonomous university and the university’s mission on local community development, to make suggestions for Nakhonsawan Rajabhat University and other universities which have same contexts. The research team collect information from documentary research, expert interviews, and data collection from Nakhonsawan Rajabhat University personnels during 2021-2022, then, using the concept of “Autonomous university” and “Community empowerment” as the study approaches. Results of this research revealed that being Autonomous university is supporting more than obstructing the university's role on local community development, but the Autonomous university have the high freedom and high flexibility administration; therefore, they should be careful that the university executive committee will change the way of local community supported-mission as they wish. There is a high possibility that the executive committee of Autonomous university will turn the local community supported-mission down, because the local community supported-mission is the low or non-money return-mission and the government has no power to oppress Autonomous university as much as when it was public university.
