Universities encourage collaborations both internally, through governance and academic freedom, and externally with government stakeholders. They can also bolster outreach by enhancing policymakers’ skills on pertinent regulatory topics.
University governance measures encapsulate the policies, systems, and processes that ensure the effective management and ethical administration of higher education institutions, aiming to foster transparency, accountability, and inclusivity in decision-making, while upholding academic integrity and educational excellence.
The Board of Trustees of Universitas Indonesia, known as Majelis Wali Amanat (MWA), is the supreme governing entity that plays a critical role in defining the university’s policy-making and strategic guidance. The MWA is composed of elected individuals from various sectors, such as students, academic staff, administrative employees, government representatives, and figures from the community, all responsible for supervising essential aspects of the university’s administration.
A fundamental function of the MWA is to set overarching policies vital to the university’s operations. Their duties encompass the approval of budgets and financial oversight, the ratification of important institutional frameworks such as the Long-Term Development Plan (Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Panjang – RPJP) and the Strategic Plan (Rencana Strategis – Renstra), and the assessment of the execution of these policies and initiatives. Moreover, the board actively contributes key recommendations to the Rector regarding the governance of Universitas Indonesia, ensuring compliance with prevailing laws and standards.
Additionally, the MWA is tasked with the annual evaluation of the Rector’s performance in collaboration with the Academic Senate and the Board of Professors. The MWA also retains the authority to nominate and relieve the Rector, a critical decision impacting the university’s leadership. In internal challenges that cannot be resolved via regular organizational channels, the MWA intervenes to address and settle such matters effectively.
The MWA serves as a conduit for collective decision-making, bringing together voices from varied stakeholder groups—including government bodies, educators, administrative personnel, students, and the wider society. This diverse and comprehensive method of governance ensures that Universitas Indonesia maintains its advancement trajectory, responds to changing challenges, and sustains its standing as a prestigious academic institution.
Alongside the Universitas Indonesia Board of Trustees (MWA), the university’s governance is enhanced by various bodies and structures that exemplify its dedication to nurturing a secure, inclusive, and participative atmosphere. The Task Force for Preventing and Handling Sexual Violence is a critical group within the university, composed of devoted experts and professionals. This team is key in promoting a university space devoid of sexual violence. By implementing strict policies, educational programs, and support networks, the task force is committed to increasing awareness, preventing occurrences, and delivering extensive support to those affected. In addressing the grave concern of sexual violence, Universitas Indonesia affirms its commitment to the safety and security of all community members, including students, staff, and faculty.
Universitas Indonesia’s Student Executive Board is another integral facet of the university’s governance model. Made up of democratically chosen student delegates, this board acts as the collective voice of the students, liaising with university administration and championing student rights and concerns. The Student Executive Board is crucial in promoting communication between the student body and the university leadership, ensuring that students’ views are integrated into the university’s policy-making. By involving students in the governance processes, UI fosters community and proprietorship amongst the students and enhances the university environment by embracing a spectrum of perspectives and ideas.
The Student Executive Board (Badan Eksekutif Mahasiswa – BEM) at Universitas Indonesia (UI) is an independent student union that plays a crucial role in campus life dynamics. The organization boasts a complex internal structure with various bureaus, departments, and divisions collaborating to propel programs and activities supporting UI students. Each faculty within UI also has its own BEM governance. BEM actively engages in advocacy programs to provide constructive feedback regarding campus governance and organizes student support programs, such as scholarships and social aid. Furthermore, BEM embraces social dimensions by conducting activities that positively impact the surrounding community, highlighting BEM UI’s significant role in strengthening the relationship between students and the local environment and promoting sustainable social development.
