The Endangering Risks of University Liberalization

The government needs to review the autonomy of universities. Granting autonomy is not the same as liberalization.

A chancellor of a state university and several of his subordinates were recently arrested by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) for bribery in the jalur mandiri (independently managed) student admissions.

Discourses have since spread with suspicions that bribery practices, apart from the one having been uncovered in a university, have become an open secret among several universities.
