Arief threatens to sue rector

SALATIGA, Central Java (JP): A lecturer at the Satyawacana Christian University has threatened to sue the chief of the college's foundation and its rector on charges of tarnishing his reputation.

Arief Budiman, an outspoken intellectual, gave the foundation chief and its rector until Sept. 25 to revoke a letter of warning issued against him or face a law suit.

He said the content of the letter they jointly issued was "slanderous" and that he has sought legal assistance from a local legal aid organization.

Arief is also known as an ardent critic of the university's rector. (har/02)
