UNS — The change in Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Surakarta status into State University with Legal Entity (PTNBH) has a myriad of consequences that need to be managed by the university. Changes also occurred in the organizational structure of the university from two university organs into four, Board of Trustees (MWA), Academic Senate, Executive Board (Rector), and Board of Professor.
MWA, as one of the organs, has a role in implementing the function that decides, provides consideration for the implementation of general policies, and conducts non-academic supervision. In implementing these processes, MWA held Commission III MWA UNS Workshop on University Non-Academic Supervision and Control Functions. The Chief of MWA Audit Committee for Universitas Diponegoro (Undip), Prof. Drs. Tarmizi Achmad, M.B.A., Ph.D., Ak, was invited as the speaker in the workshop held on Wednesday (3/11/20210) in Hotel Lorin.
In his opening remark, the Chief of Commission III, Prof. Yusep Muslih Purwana, S.T., M.T., Ph.D., explained that the workshop initiates MWA supervisory and monitoring functions on the university governance, planning, monitoring, and evaluation over university’s activities. “This activity is held to learn from Undip how Undip prepared and implemented its functions after becoming PTNBH,” Prof. Yusep stated.
The Vice-Chairman of MWA UNS, Prof. Hasan Fauzi, M.B.A., Ph.D., mentioned that the change in UNS into PTNBH with its short transition period brought great changes in the structural administration and cultural aspects in UNS. During the two-months transition period, MWA was asked to prepare the new organs to ensure the MWA functions could run smoothly.
Prof. Hasan added that MWA function becomes a foreign function because the monitoring function that was previously held by the ministry now falls under the university’s responsibility due to the PTNBH status. These functions include the function to select Rector and creating policies that need to be socialized to UNS academic members to understand the new organs in PTNBH UNS. Humas UNS
