The Chiang Mai University Act 2008 provides comprehensive policy support for academic freedom across research and teaching for all academic ranks.

Section 8(2) mandates operational principles ensuring: “Freedom and academic excellence coupled with morality.” This explicit constitutional protection guarantees both teaching and research freedom apply equally across all faculty levels without distinction between junior and senior academics.

Refer to The Chiang Mai University Act 2008 on page 30, in Section 8, Item 2 clearly states that CMU states a policy on academic freedom and good governance.
