PRIVATE UNIVERSITY RECTOR’S DECREE MAY BE CLASSIFIED AS AN OBJECT OF STATE ADMINISTRATION LAWSUITS

Private universities are “Civil Law Entities” that organize higher education, in which the rector is proposed and appointed by the Senate and the Foundation by obtaining approval from the Government of the Republic of Indonesia cq. Minister of Education, former Law no. 2 of 1989 jis Government Regulation No. 30 of 1990 and Government Regulation No. 39 of 1992.

Therefore, Private Universities are an extension of the Government in the field of Higher Education, so the Decree of the Rector of Private Universities can be qualified as a Decree of a State Administrative Officer, which can become the object of a lawsuit at the State Administrative Court according to Law No. 5 of 1986.
