UKSW suspends lecturers

SALATIGA, Central Java: The Satya Wacana Christian University
has suspended 20 staff members and slashed their salaries by 50
percent for supporting a recent student riot on campus.

Rector John JOI Ihalauw said he could not condone the behavior
of the lecturers.

Among those suspended are Nico L. Kana, dean of the post-
graduate program, Ariel Heryanto, Sumarthana, and Limson
Singalang.

The riot, which left a number of buildings damaged, marked the
climax of a long conflict within the university pitting the
rector and a handful of staff lecturers against hundreds of
students.

Three students, Helio, Tony and Zagota, are under police
custody in connection with the riot. (har)
