Tanjungpura University Pontianak Masters of Social Sciences Campus, West Kalimantan, Thursday (18/4/2024).
PONTIANAK, KOMPAS — The investigative team from the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Tanjungpura University, Pontianak, West Kalimantan, is working to uncover allegations that a lecturer was jockeying the grades of a Master of Political Science student at the same campus . The investigation team began to call witnesses.
Previously, a lecturer at FISIP, Tanjungpura University (Untan) Pontianak, West Kalimantan, was suspected of being a score jockey for one of the Masters of Political Science students at the same campus. The student never attended college, but his grades appeared in the Academic Information System (Siakad). In fact, the lecturer in charge of the course does not give grades. The emergence of student grades in Siakad is thought to be due to the role of a lecturer who becomes a jockey (Kompas.id, 18/4/2024).
On April 17th, the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences at Untan formed an investigative team consisting of five people. The team has been working since a few days ago. The investigative team is tasked to uncover the alleged case as soon as possible.
"They (the investigation team) are working and carrying out their duties. They are summoning witnesses. Let's wait for the results," said Herlan, the Dean of the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences at Untan Pontianak, on Friday (19/4/2024).
Herlan stated that the investigation team has already been working and is still ongoing. The results of the investigation team's work are still awaited. When asked about the number of witnesses who were called, Herlan said he was not sure because it was entirely left to the investigation team.
"I am not part of the team (investigation team)," said Herlan.
Previously on Thursday, Untan's Rector Garuda Wiko stated that they are open in revealing the alleged case as part of their responsibility to the public. They also do not want any academic aspects to be disrupted.
At the university level, according to Garuda, there is a team that will reexamine the alleged issue. The rectorate is waiting for the investigation results and hopes that there will be a report within this week or next week.
Jumadi, a lecturer at FISIP Untan, hopes that the investigative team works professionally, transparently, and objectively, and must find who the actor(s) is. For him, it is not difficult to find the actor(s), either a faculty member or the student(s) involved.
The alleged problem, according to Jumadi, tarnishes the reputation, ethics, morals, and good name of the university and the education world as a whole. This falls under the category of a serious violation.
Jumadi also questioned why the S-2 student's grade appeared in Siakad. In fact, Jumadi never gave a grade because the person concerned never attended the lectures. Even the S-2 student never attended classes.
