Protest mars UIN inauguration

YOGYAKARTA: A student protest marred the inauguration of the
Sunan Kalijaga Islamic State University on Thursday in
Yogyakarta, with students calling on the government to prevent
education from being commercialized by "irresponsible parties".

The protest was held as Minister of National Education Malik
Fadjar was presiding over a ceremony at the university.

In the ceremony, the minister officiated the change of status
of Sunan Kalijaga Islam State Institute to Sunan Kalijaga Islamic
State University.

With its change of status, the university has two new secular
faculties, the school of humanities and science. -- JP
