The Statute of UPN Veteran Jakarta

Statutes are legal documents that contain the basic rules or articles of association of an organization, especially in higher education institutions such as universities. These statutes serve as the legal basis for all activities taking place within the university.

Simply put, statutes are a kind of "constitution" for a university. They contain various important things, ranging from the vision and mission, organizational structure, decision-making procedures, to the rights and obligations of all academics (students, lecturers, and education staff).

Benefits of Statutes
Statutes play a very important role in organizing higher education. Here are some of the benefits:

As the main guideline: Statutes are the main reference in carrying out all academic and non-academic activities in universities. All policies, regulations, and procedures that apply in the campus environment must comply with the provisions contained in the statutes.

Ensure order and legal certainty: With the statutes, every member of the academic community can know their rights and obligations clearly. This helps create an orderly, safe, and conducive campus environment.

Ensuring accountability: Statutes also serve as a tool to measure the performance and accountability of all components within a university. Every action taken must be legally accountable and in accordance with existing provisions.
Ensuring university autonomy: Statutes provide flexibility for each university to manage its own household according to its characteristics and needs, but remain within the corridor of applicable laws and regulations.
As a basis for developing a university: Statutes are the foundation for universities to carry out development and innovation in the fields of education, research, and community service.
In short, statutes are the heart of a university. Without statutes, activities in universities will be unfocused and difficult to achieve the goals that have been set.
