UNIMUS | Semarang | (August 17, 2017) Universitas Muhammadiyah Semarang (Unimus) in collaboration with the Coordination of Higher Education Institutions Area VI of Central Java (Kopertis VI Wilayah Jawa Tengah) held a socialization on the Go Online Information System of Lecturer Functional Position (SIJAGO). Invited as the guest speaker in the event was Mr. Ngadiyanto, ST., M.Kom., the Head of the Institutional and Cooperation Section of Kopertis VI, and Nurcholis, S.Kom., a programmer at Kopertis VI. The event was attended by the Vice Rector I, Vice Rector II, Deans, Heads of Study Programs, and lecturers at Unimus.

The event was opened by Prof. Dr. Masrukhi, M.Pd., as the Rector of Unimus, who gave motivations to the entire lecturers at Unimus to immediately propose the functional position promotion, for it’s become one of Unimus’ efforts to improve the quality of the human resources, specifically lecturers, so that Unimus would be able to compete with other institutions.

Participants of the Socialization

The material presentation was moderated by Ir. Agustin Syamsianah., M.Kes, the head of the study program off Nutrition Science at Unimus. The socialization was also filled with material explanation and a brief workshop on steps of the lecturer functional position promotion via online. “Through SIJAGO, we expect to provide quicker and more effective and efficient services dealing with academic functional positions, besides avoiding any unwanted matters” Mr. Ngadiyanto, ST., M.Kom. revealed. The participants were guided directly by the guest speaker when logging in the system as well as filling the forms of the functional position promotion. In that opportunity, the guest speaker also suggested Unimus to have its own repository in order to support the SIJAGO application. The repository would make it easier for lecturers to upload the scanned files. They just needed to type the files’ urls in the forms available on SIJAGO. The socialization event was ended with discussion and Q/A session.

The Vice Rector II (Dr. Sri Rejeki., M.Kep., Sp.Mat.) stated that lecturers as an important component of higher education have a very significant role for institutions where they belong to in order to do their functions. “The primary job of a lecturer is to do the Three Obligations (Tridharma Perguruan Tinggi), each of which can’t be separated from each other because of connected and supportive to each other. Every achievement a lecturer gets dealing with the Three Obligations is a good achievement of him or her. The promotion of a lecturer academic position is a reward from the government for his or her work performance, so that every lecturer with the work performance that matches with the prevailing laws and regulations has the right to get an academic position promotionk” the Vice Rector II stated. We hope that the socialization and workshop can motivate the lecturers at Unimus to immediately propose for their functional positions’ promotions, which will not only be useful for themselves but also the institution.
