Campuses Must Fight Intolerance, Bullying, Sexual Violence And Corruption

JAKARTA - A healthy, safe and comfortable campus must always eradicate three major sins, namely intolerance, bullying, sexual violence and corruption. Higher Education Service Institutions or LLDikti in partnership with universities in their environment always strive to create these principles. This was stated by the Head of LLDikti Region III, Prof. Dr. Agus Setyo Budi, M.Sc.

“The Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology is committed to always eradicating three major sins in the world of education. One of them is the stipulation of Ministerial Regulation number 30 of 2021 regarding the prevention and handling of sexual violence in the environment that occurs in the Higher Education environment," said the Head of LLDikti Region III, Prof. Dr. Agus Setyo Budi, M.Sc in front of the university graduates and Prof. Dr. Moestopo Religion (UPDMB) in Jakarta, Monday 13 December.

According to him, the issuance of this regulation aims to increase knowledge and awareness of campus residents through education about sexual violence as an effort to prevent and strengthen the handling system that favors victims.

"With this regulation, the world of higher education really becomes a role model and can become an ambassador for anti-sexual violence and other forms of violence so that campuses in Indonesia are free from various acts of violence," added Agus.

For the principle of tolerance education, Agus gave his appreciation to Moestopo University, which recently received a world award for the inclusiveness of ASIC 2021, the Accreditation Service for International Schools, Colleges and Universities or the UK-based national education Accreditation Board.

"Congratulations to Moestopo University for showing itself in Indonesia and the world as a campus with a healthy, comfortable, and safe learning environment in terms of religious tolerance and diversity," said Agus.

According to the Deputy Chancellor I of UPDMB, Prof. Dr. Andriansyah, M.Si who is also the chairman of the committee, the 2021 graduation has the theme Collaboration - Integrity - Solution. Graduation was attended by about a thousand undergraduate and master students and took place in a hybrid or a mixture of offline and online.

"We deliberately did graduation following strict health procedures, including those attending must have been vaccinated, be safe after undergoing an antigen test, use protective care applications, keep distance, use masks and wash hands," said Andriansyah.

The graduation procession, added Andriansyah, took place in three sessions. In addition to no photo session, graduates are also not allowed to linger in the building. After calling your name, you are immediately invited to leave the building. This is done in order to consistently implement Prokes by reducing crowds.
