This research aimed to investigate environmental pathology of autonomous campuses in terms of social, cultural, economic, political and transnational dimensions and long-term Outcomes of damages. Therefore, 21 experts of higher education and directors of autonomous campuses of public universities of Tehran were interviewed using nonprobability and purposive sampling. This research is qualitative and methodically descriptive-exploratory. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis method and themes of environmental damages were extracted. The research results showed that out of 179 coded cases, 29% of extracted codes are social, 20% cultural, 20% economic, 13% political, 9% sanctions and 9% long-term Outcomes of damages. The results indicate that the highest level of environmental damages of autonomous campuses relates to social dimension and themes, including lack of attention to labor market demand, creation of unequal educational opportunities, social injustice and individual characteristics of students.
