BANDAR LAMPUNG - Acting Chancellor of the University of Lampung (Unila) Mohammad Sofwan Effendi will conduct a thorough evaluation of new student admissions at the well-known state university in Lampung.

"In today's capacity as the acting Chancellor of Unila, I want to ensure that the Tri Dharma of Higher Education runs smoothly," said the Acting Chancellor of Unila in Bandar Lampung, as reported by ANTARA, Monday, August 22.

He said the KPK's arrest operation (OTT) had made his party conduct a thorough evaluation related to the new student admissions route.

"Other faculties will also be evaluated, all faculties are no exception, they must follow the rules from the Ministry of Education and Culture regarding the new student admissions route," he said.

He explained that all faculties for new student admissions have two official channels, namely the regular route and the independent route, the implementation of which is permitted by regulation by the Ministry of Education and Culture.

"The point is that everything will be fixed. For the vacant positions, temporary officials will be chosen," he said.

According to him, based on staffing regulations, when someone becomes a suspect, the position will be temporarily suspended pending a court decision.

"So what we have changed is the position at Unila, the first suspect is the Chancellor, then the Deputy Chancellor 1 will be appointed later. After that, the Dean of FKIP who also serves as Chair of the Senate," he added.

For the Dean of FKIP, temporarily the execution of duties for one month will be given to the dean who has served previously while waiting for re-election, while the Chair of the Senate will be directly replaced by the Secretary of the Senate.
