Analysis of the Principles of Good University Governance at the University of Indonesia as a State University with Legal Entity (PTN-BH) in 2014-2019

Sep 10, 2026

To achieve its vision and mission, Universitas Indonesia has undertaken continuous improvements across governance-related domains. Despite these efforts, governance advances have not consistently translated into performance achievements reflected in annual reports. This study analyses the implementation of good university governance principles at UI as a State University with Legal Entity (PTN-BH) during 2014–2019, identifying non-optimised execution and governance obstacles, and proposing regulatory and assessment improvements.

This study aims to analyse the application of the principles of good university governance at UI, a state university, from 2014 to 2019. The findings reveal that the execution of good university governance at UI, operating as a State University with a Legal Entity from 2014 to 2019, has not been optimised. The study delineated obstacles to good university governance at UI, encompassing the lack of involvement in decision-making processes beyond the rectorate, particularly in academic management; absence of transparent selection criteria for critical leadership roles such as UI Rectors and Deans; disparities in workload distribution across UI units; [and outdated information on the ui.ac.id website. Recommendations](and outdated information on the ui.ac.id website. Recommendations) stemming from the study advocate for enhancements in regulatory frameworks, refinement of staff performance assessment mechanisms, dissemination of financial regulations, and exploration of avenues to augment non-tuition revenue streams. These proposed measures aim to mitigate the identified challenges and to implement sound university governance principles more effectively at UI. | A. INTRODUCTION Universitas Indonesia (UI) was ranked by the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) Institute (Top Universities, 2023) as the best university among 11 State Universities with Legal Entity (PTNBH) in 2019. This ranking employs seven assessment indicators: academic reputation, measuring all academic elements; employer reputation, evaluating the quality of graduates in terms of employability; faculty-student ratio, measuring the sustainability of teaching and learning activities in tertiary institutions; international faculty measuring the number of expatriates and foreign educators; international students measuring the number of international students enrolled; outbound exchange measuring the number of students participating in student exchange programs abroad for at least one semester; and inbound exchange measuring the number of international students studying at tertiary institutions as part of a student exchange program for at least one semester. However, even though UI is often considered the best tertiary institution in Indonesia, its ranking has fluctuated from 2014 to 2021. UI's rankings during this period are as follows: in 2014, it was ranked 309th in the world; in 2015, it was ranked 310th; in 2016, it dropped to 358th; in 2017, it rose to 325th; in 2018, it improved to 277th; in 2019, it declined to 292nd; in 2020, it further decreased to 296th; and in 2021, it was ranked 305th (Top Universi
