        "content": "<p>Two lecturers at the University of Mataram (Unram) in West Nusa\nTenggara (NTB) are alleged to have committed verbal sexual harassment\nagainst several female students. Four students, who are suspected\nvictims of the harassment, have reported the two lecturers to the Unram\nSexual Violence Prevention and Handling Task Force (PPKS).<\/p>\n<p>The Chairman of the Unram PPKS Task Force, Joko Jumadi, confirmed the\nexistence of complaints regarding the two lecturers suspected of verbal\nsexual harassment. According to him, both lecturers teach at the Faculty\nof Law, Social and Political Sciences (FHISIP) at Unram.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is true that two lecturers have been reported. One is being\nreported by three victims, and the other has one complainant so far,\u201d\nJoko stated on Monday (18\/05\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Joko revealed that the two lecturers allegedly uttered sexually\nexplicit remarks while teaching in class. Furthermore, the victims also\nclaimed that the lecturers engaged in sensual flirting via WhatsApp\nmessages.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is primarily sexist jokes and (lewd) flirting. Therefore, these\nactions fall into the category of sexual violence,\u201d said Joko\nJumadi.<\/p>\n<p>Joko noted that the PPKS Task Force has taken statements from several\nwitnesses regarding the alleged sexual violence, including witnesses\nfrom the victims\u2019 side and one person from the reported party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe modus operandi is presented as mere jokes. Some occurred online\nand some offline. During teaching, they also made sensual jokes intended\nto break the ice. Therefore, we do not yet know the motive,\u201d he\nadded.<\/p>\n<p>According to Joko, the perpetrators also engaged in verbal sexual\nviolence outside of teaching hours. He mentioned that the sexist jokes\nexpressed by the lecturers pointed towards indications of intimate\nrelations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven if they are jokes, they cannot be allowed. However, it has not\nescalated to physical violence,\u201d Joko added.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the reporting process for the two lecturers is ongoing.\nThe Unram PPKS Task Force is also scheduling sessions to interrogate the\nlecturers. \u201cWe have examined one person. We have yet to examine the\nother,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>",
