Universitas Prasetiya Mulya has held a Public Test for Candidates for the Selection Committee (Capansel) of the Task Force for the Prevention and Handling of Sexual Violence (PPKS) online via zoom meeting and broadcast via YouTube live. This Public Test activity was attended by 10 Capansel people who had graduated from the PPKS Training from the Ministry of Education and Culture. This Public Test activity was also attended by Prasmul residents consisting of elements of teaching staff/faculty members, educational staff/professional staff, and students of Universitas Prasetiya Mulya. Also present were representatives from the LL3Dikti section of Learning and Student Affairs (Belmawa) as invited guests.
The Public Test activity was opened with remarks from Vice Chancellor III, Mr. Franky Supriyadi, Ph.D. who said that this public test activity was an implementation of Permendikbudristek no. 30 of 2021 concerning Prevention and Handling of Sexual Violence. According to Mr. Franky, universities have a vital role to play in preventing sexual violence and this public test is the first step to forming a UPM PPKS Task Force that is full of dedication and integrity.
In the Public Test, 10 Candidates for the PPKS Task Force Selection Committee presented their opinions regarding sexual violence at Prasetiya Mulya University very well. They received input from the panelists and Prasmul residents who were present. One of the interesting questions posed by the internal panelist, Mr. Tri Harnowo, SH., MM., LL.M., MA, is whether the formation of the PPKS Task Force is for the campus’s reputation or the protection and enforcement of victims’ rights. The Capansel who had the opportunity to answer this question said that forming the PPKS Task Force, it meant that Universities Prasetiya Mulya was ready to provide protection for victims of sexual violence and that later the reputation of the campus would increase with good handling of sexual violence that might occur.
Panelists from outside Prasetiya Mulya, Mrs. Yosephine Dian Indraswari, M.Psi., also appreciated Prasetiya Mulya University as one of the private universities that has started the process for the formation of this PPKS Task Force. Mrs. Dian said that actually when Permendikburistek No. 30 of 2021 appeared the main target was for State Universities (PTN) to form PPKS Task Force in higher education environments. In 2023, 100% of PTNs have formed the PPKS Task Force and the next target is Private Higher Education (PTS). According to Ms. Dian, not all PTS have a Selection Committee and PPKS Task Force in their environment, “This is an appreciation for Prasetiya Mulya for starting a pretty good initiative to start the process of forming the PPKS Task Force”.
The continuation of the PPKS Task Force Capansel Public Test is an assessment from the Assessment Team and the community to determine the selected PPKS Task Force Selection Committee. The assessment team outside the panelists is Mr. Franky Supriyadi, Ph.D., and Mrs. Ulya Yasmine P.S.H., LLM. The Candidates for the Selection Committee to be assessed consist of:
The Assessment Team will select 3, 5, or 7 people consisting of elements of teaching staff, educational staff, and students to become the PPKS Task Force Selection Committee whose task is to form the PPKS Task Force at Universitas Prasetiya Mulya.
