UIN Jakarta Affirms PTUN Ruling Does Not Halt Integration of Educational Units

UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta has emphasised that the policy to integrate educational units within its Public Service Agency (BLU) environment is not dependent on a single State Administrative Court (PTUN) ruling. The policy is built upon various legal foundations and aims to strengthen educational governance, safeguard state assets, and improve the quality of educational services.

Legal Counsel for UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, Alwanih, explained that the Jakarta PTUN ruling Number 9/G/2026/PTUN.JKT must be understood proportionally according to the scope of the case, namely a dispute between the Ketilang Insan Mandiri Foundation (KIM) against the Minister of Religious Affairs concerning the Minister of Religious Affairs Decree (KMA) Number 1543 of 2025.

According to Alwanih, the ruling has not yet obtained permanent legal force (inkracht), meaning legal remedies remain available in accordance with statutory regulations. Therefore, the scope of its applicability must be understood in relation to the parties and the object of the dispute in that case, and it cannot be broadly interpreted as a basis to halt the entire policy of integrating educational units within the BLU environment of UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta.

“The integration of educational units is not solely based on KMA Number 1543 of 2025. This policy has a broader legal foundation, including the Rector’s Decree Number 36 of 2001, the 2022 recommendation from the Audit Board of Indonesia (BPK), and the Serang PTUN Ruling Number 3/G/2026/PTUN.SRG which has strengthened the position of UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta,” said Alwanih.

He stated that the integration of educational units is a strategic policy to create more effective and accountable governance oriented towards the interests of education. The policy covers institutional management, assets, finances, and human resources to ensure the continuity of quality educational services.
