The nine values, namely being honest, caring, independent, disciplined, responsibilities, hard work, simple, brave, and fair, can be applied optimally. Therefore, said Wawan, all academic community needs to be given the widest possible understanding of corruption, legal sanctions due to corruption, and corrupt behavior in campus such as plagiarism, fictitious proposals, cheating, and absenteeism. "The value of anti-corruption needs to be instilled from now on, starting from their immediate environment. So it's not just a course but their behavior," he said. According to him, universities should be a barometer of preventing criminal acts of corruption for all elements of society so that the government's efforts to eradicate corruption produce results according to expectations. In addition, he said, students as a young generation of future leaders should fortify themselves with nine anti-corruption values so as not to easily fall into corrupt behavior.
"Without us realizing corrupt behavior in the campus environment, it is possible that behavior becomes a habit when they become officials," he said.
