Enviro News Asia, Jakarta — The Universitas Pembangunan Nasional “Veteran” Jakarta (UPNVJ) continues to oversee the resolution of employment status for faculty members affected by the national Government Employee Restructuring Policy (PPIP). The university has coordinated intensively with the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology and the Ministry of Finance to ensure the process complies with applicable regulations while safeguarding the academic rights and professional status of the affected lecturers.
As a follow-up to these consultations, UPNVJ has completed the issuance of Decrees (SK) changing the employment nomenclature of eligible lecturers to Non-Civil Servant Permanent Professional Lecturers (Dosen Tetap non-ASN Tenaga Profesional) in accordance with ministerial directives and prevailing regulations.
The adjustment forms part of UPNVJ’s institutional response to the implementation of the national civil service restructuring policy. The university stated that every stage of the process has been carried out with prudence, accountability, and regulatory compliance to ensure orderly administrative procedures and minimize uncertainty for affected faculty members.
UPNVJ Vice Rector for Planning, General Affairs, and Finance, Prof. Dr. Ir. Netti Herawati, M.Si., said the completion of the first phase resulted from continuous communication and close coordination between the university and the central government.
“Alhamdulillah, the university has completed the first phase of the employment status adjustment decrees. This represents the most appropriate solution available under the ministry’s guidance and regulations. For lecturers whose proposals are still under review, we remain committed to safeguarding their rights until the entire process is completed,” Prof. Netti said.
UPNVJ emphasized that the administrative adjustment does not affect lecturers’ employment records, academic functional positions, career ranks, or other professional achievements accumulated during their service at the university.
Following the issuance of the decrees, the next stage involves updating faculty records in the Integrated Resource Information System (SISTER). The data update is considered essential to fully restore lecturers’ professional status within Indonesia’s national higher education information system.
“Our team is continuing to coordinate with the ministry to accelerate the data update process in SISTER. We are working to complete the synchronization as soon as possible so that lecturers’ professional status and rights within the national system can be fully restored,” Prof. Netti explained.
The restoration of SISTER records is expected to strengthen administrative recognition for lecturers in carrying out the three pillars of higher education—education, research, and community service. It will also support research grant applications and help universities meet accreditation indicators for academic programs and institutional quality assurance.
UPNVJ views the resolution of faculty employment status as part of its institutional responsibility to maintain sound human resource governance during the transition of national civil service policies. The university reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining close communication with relevant ministries to ensure that every stage of the process remains measurable, humane, and fully compliant with legal and regulatory frameworks.
“God willing, through transparent governance and strict adherence to regulations, the phased resolution model initiated by UPNVJ can serve as a reference for addressing similar employment challenges faced by Public Service Agency (BLU) state universities across Indonesia,” Prof. Netti concluded.
