Motorcyclists pass by on Thursday (12/10) the Ganesha School of Economics (STIE) campus on Jl. Legoso, Ciputat, South Tangerang, Banten, which used to be site of the Suluh Bangsa Teacher Training College (STKIP). Data from the Research, Technology and Higher Education Ministry shows the status of STKIP Suluh Bangsaas “closed”.

After being determined as not meeting the nation’s higher education standards, 25 privately run universities in several regions found their operational licenses revoked.

The 25 universities are the latest among the 192 private universities whose licenses have been revoked in the last two years. These 25 universities are bankrupt, and as with companies, the bankruptcy clause provided a legal reference.
