The study aimed to identify the most important determinants of academic freedom for a university professor from the perspective of the professors of the Saba Region University.
In order to achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher prepared a questionnaire and administered this questionnaire to a sample of (64) professors selected randomly from all the faculties of the university.

The lowest rating was given to the administrative domain with a mean of (3.5435). The most prominent determinant of academic freedom were ignoring the issue of academic freedom in the university objectives and adopting the appointment system instead of election.
