Under the authority of Section 18 (7) of the Ramkhamhaeng University Act B.E. 2541 (1998), at the 21st/2022 confidential meeting on 8 November 2022, the Ramkhamhaeng University Council resolved to remove Mr. Suebpong Prabyai from the position of Rector, effective from 9 November 2022, and issued Council Order No. 119/2022 dated 9 November 2022 concerning the removal.
However, there was a related case filed with the Administrative Court regarding the removal of the Ramkhamhaeng University Rector, where the lower Administrative Court ordered a suspension of enforcement of the university council's resolution and the related council order.
Subsequently, the Supreme Administrative Court reversed the lower court’s order, dismissing the request to suspend enforcement of the university council's resolution and order.
The Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation then requested to submit for royal approval the removal of Mr. Suebpong Prabyai from the position of Ramkhamhaeng University Rector, which the Secretariat of the Cabinet has now submitted for royal approval.
Now, by royal command, Mr. Suebpong Prabyai is removed from the position of Ramkhamhaeng University Rector, effective 9 November 2022.
