Women's studies programs

We thank you for your report about the 15th anniversary of the
University of Indonesia Women's Studies postgraduate program (The
Jakarta Post, Dec. 18).

While event was ongoing, a rumor emerged that the S2 Gender
and Development Program at the University of Hasanuddin Makassar
would be closed down.

We were concerned about the matter and we feared the
unverifiable news would spread quickly.

However, the following day, a senior member of staff from the
S2 program denied the rumor. In other words, the S2 Gender and
Development course will, to our delight, continue.
