ABSTRACT |\n| --- |\n| This research aims to explore the policy of Legal Entity State Universities (PTN-BH) in Indonesia using a descriptive qualitative approach and data collection techniques through literature studies. The results show that the PTN-BH policy indicates the process of privatization of state universities where the granting of autonomy to state universities leads to privatization of higher education, state universities get the opportunity to freely develop businesses to meet their needs which can be achieved through many things, one of which is that state universities have full control to regulate policies including one of which is increasing STF fees, as a result there is segmentation of accessibility of higher education in this case PTNBH which leads to capitalization and commercialization in the university environment. |\n| Keywords: PTN-BH, Capitalism, Commercialization. |\n| Corresponding author Name: Ashri Rahmatia\u003Cbr>Email: [itsashriii@gmail.com](itsashriii@gmail.com) |\n\nINTRODUCTION  \nAccessibility to higher education for Indonesia's youth is an irony that seems to be increasingly difficult to reach easily by all circles where economic limitations are a key aspect that has a major influence on this phenomenon . In 2021, the Deputy Minister for Coordination of Education Quality Improvement and Religious Moderation (Kemenko PMK) pointed out that of the 3.7 million students who graduate from high school each year, only 1.8 million (Fadhol, 2021), while the Population and Civil Registration Office in 2022 reported that the number of Indonesians pursuing higher education amounted to only 6% of the country's total population going to college. This should be one of the government's main concerns as it shows the low probability of Indonesia realizing the ideals of human resource development and higher education (Saputra, 2023) .  \nThe majority of the Indonesian population who have difficulty accessing higher education are motivated by poverty, in addition to other factors that also become the main obstacle and exacerbate the difficulty of accessing higher education for the Indonesian population, namely the cost of the Single Tuition Fee (STF) of higher education which is increasingly unreasonable because it has experienced a very drastic surge, making most  \nIndonesians have to bury their dreams of continuing their education to the realm of higher education (Setiawati, 2024) . The government's policy of increasing STF fees is very far from embodying the spirit of educational inclusiveness, higher education which should be a means of realizing social and economic progress for all the nation's next generation with easy and affordable access.  \nFor most Indonesians, education is likened to a luxury item that is difficult to reach easily in the midst of a limited economic situation, exacerbated by the increase in STF in higher education, which is intended to improve the quality of education and educational facilities in higher education, but on the other hand it can be considered as an excuse by policy makers to make higher education a commodity that brings profit to certain parties, thus triggering segmentation in the world of education where higher education is no longer easily accessible to all levels of society. Capitalism has penetrated into the realm of education where universities are often used as business objects, expensive, elitist, discriminatory. Furthermore, criticism of the capitalization of education has been put forward by Ivan Illich in his work entitled Deschooling Society which states that capitalist schools are cunning, opium schools, and systematic student dumbing down.  \nSome previous studies that were used as references in writing this article are as follows, first, a study entitled \" Dampak Komersialisasi Pendidikan Tinggi di Masyarakat Lombok Timur\" by Habibirrahman, et al. which states that education today has been trapped in the middle of the web of capitalism where education tends to be com","cbCaitNseD7ZR1kL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitNseD7ZR1kL","pdf",384782,"English","# Introduction\n## Accessibility and socioeconomic constraints\n## STF fee increases and education commodification\n## Capitalism in higher education and key critiques\n## Previous studies and related findings","[{\"question\":\"What does the PTN-BH policy imply for Indonesian state universities?\",\"answer\":\"The PTN-BH policy indicates a privatization process where autonomy enables universities to manage operations and develop business activities for their needs.\"},{\"question\":\"How does increasing STF fees affect higher education access?\",\"answer\":\"Rising STF fees make higher education increasingly difficult to reach for economically limited groups, leading to segmentation of accessibility.\"},{\"question\":\"How is capitalization and commercialization reflected in the university environment?\",\"answer\":\"Autonomy and fee policy choices, including STF increases, contribute to treating higher education more like a profit-oriented commodity, encouraging commercialization and discriminatory access patterns.\"}]","Privatizing State Universities - Capitalism and Commercialization 98-107 | PDF",25]
