        "summary": "Victims of alleged sexual harassment by 16 students from the University of Indonesia's Faculty of Law (FH UI) are demanding that the perpetrators face severe sanctions, including expulsion from the university. Representing 20 female student victims and seven faculty members affected, the victims' lawyer argues that the misconduct undermines campus safety and university values, insisting that dropout penalties should apply even without physical assault. The case, which surfaced via viral social media conversations in a student group, highlights ongoing issues of sexual violence in higher education institutions and calls for swift action from university authorities.",
        "content": "<p>Depok, Kompas.com - The victims of the alleged sexual harassment\ncarried out by 16 students from the Faculty of Law at the University of\nIndonesia (FH UI) are demanding that the perpetrators be subjected to\nstrict sanctions in the form of dropout (DO) or termination of\nstudies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur request is simple; we only hope for one sanction: dropout,\u201d said\nthe victims\u2019 lawyer, Timotius Rajagukguk, during a press conference on\nthe UI campus in Depok, West Java, on Tuesday (14\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>According to Timotius, the DO sanction is appropriate for students\ndeemed unworthy of continuing their education at the university.<\/p>\n<p>He assessed that the perpetrators\u2019 actions not only disrupt the sense\nof safety but also potentially endanger other students and damage the\nuniversity\u2019s values.<\/p>\n<p>Timotius emphasised that the elements of violation in this case have\nbeen fulfilled. He also rejected the notion that a DO sanction can only\nbe imposed if there is physical harassment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo not think that for a dropout, the case must already be more\nsevere, physical harassment and so on,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, Timotius is the lawyer for 20 victims, all of whom are\nfemale students from FH UI.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, he revealed that there are seven FH UI lecturers who are\nalso suspected to be victims, bringing the total number of victims to 27\npeople.<\/p>\n<p>The victims hope that the University of Indonesia, FH UI, the UI Task\nForce for the Prevention and Handling of Sexual Violence (Satgas PPKS),\nthe UI Board of Professors, and the FH UI professors\u2019 ranks can\nimmediately follow up on this case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn accordance with procedures and quickly as well. We do not want\nthis case to drag on too long,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The matter of sexual harassment<\/p>\n<p>It was previously reported that 16 UI students are suspected of\ncommitting sexual harassment against female students in the faculty.<\/p>\n<p>The alleged harassment went viral on social media in the form of\nconversations leading to sexual matters in a social media group.<\/p>\n<p>The Chair of the FH UI Student Executive Board (BEM), Anandaku Dimas\nRumi Chattaristo, said that all the perpetrators are students from the\n2023 intake.<\/p>\n<p>This incident initially came to light when the 16 students suddenly\napologised in the intake group.<\/p>",
