        "summary": "Universitas Budi Luhur has indicated its willingness to conduct an independent investigation into allegations of sexual harassment by a lecturer against a female student, following an initial assessment that the evidence provided was insufficient to substantiate the claims under sexual violence laws. The victim's lawyer revealed additional details, including the lecturer's proposal of marriage and inappropriate physical contact that caused long-term trauma, which the student delayed reporting due to fears over her studies. Despite a six-month suspension imposed on the accused, reports suggest he continued campus activities, highlighting potential enforcement issues in handling such cases within Indonesian higher education institutions.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com \u2013 Universitas Budi Luhur (UBL) is opening the\npossibility for an investigation into the case of alleged sexual\nharassment committed by a lecturer against one of its students. UBL\nRector Agus Setyo Budi conveyed this through Decree Number\nK\/UBL\/REK\/000\/006\/02\/26 dated 27 February 2026. Agus stated that the\ninvestigation would be conducted independently without interference.\nThis further investigation is potentially to be carried out because the\nevidence and witnesses presented by the victim, A, are deemed not strong\nenough to prove the alleged criminal act of sexual violence (TPKS). This\nassessment refers to the results of the investigation by the Higher\nEducation Violence Prevention and Handling Team (PPKPT). The victim\u2019s\nlegal representative, Pahala Manurung, said that his client had also\nbeen proposed to by the perpetrator. In addition, the perpetrator is\nsaid to have touched the victim\u2019s body under her clothing, which\nsubsequently caused trauma. The victim is known to have harboured this\ntrauma for years because she feared her studies would be disrupted if\nshe reported it at the time. After the victim reported the incident, the\ncampus imposed a six-month suspension on the alleged perpetrator.\nHowever, in its implementation, the perpetrator is said to have\ncontinued activities in the campus environment even though the sanction\nperiod had not yet ended.<\/p>",
