        "content": "<p>KM ITB rejects politicisation and co-option of Indonesian campuses by\nthe Prabowo Subianto administration. They also demand the right to\nsafeguard the intellectual space of campus life.<\/p>\n<p>This demand followed the participation of several ministers and\npoliticians in a seminar addressing \u2018Prabowonomics\u2019 at ITB. Farell Faiz,\npresident of KM ITB, said the event did not involve all students and\nthereby closed off the intellectual space and debates that should be\nalive on campus.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Prabowonomics is merely a stage for officials to gain legitimacy\nfrom ITB,\u2019 Faiz told reporters on Friday, 6 March 2026.<\/p>\n<p>On that basis, KM ITB held a consolidation with other student groups\nto reject the politicised agenda on campus. More than that, they fear\nthe line between intellectual space and politics is becoming\nblurred.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Disrupting the space for knowledge disrupts humanity\u2019s progress,\u2019 he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, KM ITB also urged President Prabowo to evaluate policies\nby taking strategic steps that are pro-people and pro-sovereignty. KM\nITB, Faiz said, called on the government to rebuild the institutions of\nnational security to fit civilian needs and interests. This includes\nplaying an active role in safeguarding the sovereignty of the whole\nworld, with particular emphasis on Palestine.<\/p>\n<p>Faiz said his organisation also demands Prabowo be held accountable\nfor ecological disasters occurring in the country. \u2018(The evaluation)\nshould begin with stating current conditions, response, the formation of\nresearch, and mitigation planning,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>KM ITB also demands Prabowo\u2019s government establish economic justice\nfor all Indonesians, including redrawing Indonesia\u2019s education system to\nfocus on welfare and the emancipation from civil oppression.<\/p>",
