JAKARTA - The Directorate General of Higher Education (Dirjen Dikti) of the Ministry of Education and Culture, Research and Technology, was surprised by the arrest of the Chancellor of the University of Lampung (Unila), Prof. Dr. Karomani, in the KPK's arrest operation (OTT) on Saturday, August 20, early in the morning. Karomani is suspected of accepting bribes of around Rp. 2 billion.
"Astagfirullahaladzim. I am personally very sad about this incident. I did not expect the chancellor to get OTT," said the Acting Director General of Higher Education Research and Technology, Prof. Nizam, when confirmed by reporters, Saturday, August 20.
Regarding this incident, Nizam said, his party submitted the applicable legal process to the KPK. "We will completely hand over the process to the KPK," said Nizam.
As for the leadership at Unila after the rector's arrest, Nizam said his party would wait for the official status determination from the KPK. If it is proven legally, then Unila's Chancellor will be replaced.
"We are waiting for the KPK to determine its status first. If necessary (changed, ed)," said Prof. Nizam.
