Yogyakarta, 5 August 2025 — The Dean’s Office of the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIPOL) at Universitas Gadjah Mada conducted a series of special meetings with each department on 4–5 August 2025. Held in the respective department rooms, the initiative followed an evaluation carried out by the University’s Quality Assurance and Reputation Unit (SPMRU) together with the faculty’s Human Resources team, which highlighted urgent issues related to the determination of lecturer homebase and the acceleration of academic career progression.
The meetings focused on two main agendas: the finalization of lecturer homebase assignments and the formulation of strategic steps to accelerate academic promotions within FISIPOL. Through these forums, the faculty sought direct input from each department, aiming to establish a shared understanding and strengthen academic governance in a more systematic and sustainable manner.
This initiative reflects FISIPOL’s commitment to advancing higher education governance in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) — particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education), which emphasizes the importance of academic excellence and professional development, and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions), which highlights the role of strong institutional governance in fostering sustainable progress.
