The sanctions were determined based on a thorough investigation and the recommendations of the Satgas PPK and expert team, ensuring they are proportional to the proven violations,” he stated on Tuesday, June 2.
The university maintains that its disciplinary policies are enforced consistently, regardless of the status, position, faculty, or background of those involved. According to Panigoro, all reports are processed under established protocols, ensuring that every final decision is objective and fully accountable.
Explaining the procedural rigor, Panigoro added, “Since receiving the reports, the UI Satgas PPK has followed a structured process, including verification, examinations of victims, witnesses, and the accused, as well as the collection and review of evidence. These findings, discussed in internal meetings, formed the foundation for the university leadership’s final decision.”
Looking ahead, UI remains committed to supporting and protecting victims throughout and after the resolution process, ensuring both recovery services and the preservation of their academic rights. Simultaneously, the university is strengthening preventive measures across the campus to ensure that such incidents are not repeated and that every member of the UI community can learn and work in a safe environment.
“Handling this case is not the end of our efforts, but rather part of a continuous commitment by UI to build a safe campus environment free from violence,” Panigoro concluded. “Our primary focus remains on the recovery of victims and proactive prevention to ensure all members of our community are protected.”
