Editing Rector (academia) (section)

===Thailand===
The term ''rector'' is not widely used to refer to the highest executive position in Thai universities ([[Thai language|Thai]]:''อธิการบดี''; {{RTGS|Athikan Bodi}} ), compared to the term ''president''. [[Thammasat University]] adopts this term for this position to reflect its tradition associated with the French education system where [[Pridi Banomyong]], Thammasat's founding father was educated.

Except [[Assumption University (Thailand)|Assumption University]], the only International Catholic University in Thailand, the position of the head of the executives and administrators of the institute is "rector". A decade after the present rector assume his duty, the title of Rector Magnificus was bestowed on [[Rev. Bro.]] Bancha Saenghiran, f.s.g.{{what|date=February 2023}}, Ph.D. at a solemn Academic ceremony on 1 November 2011 at the Assumption University Suvarnabhumi campus in the ornate Chapel of St. Louis Marie de Montfort (founder of the [[Louis de Montfort|Montfortian Brothers of St. Gabriel]].)
