Elected Representation on the University’s Highest Governing Body

Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University has an established University Senate that serves as a senior academic governance body. The university documents electoral procedures for selecting faculty representatives to the University Senate for the 2026–2030 term. However, the available public evidence does not establish elected representation from all three groups specified in this indicator: students, faculty, and non-faculty staff.

1. Student Representation (Undergraduate and Graduate Students)

The university has a University Student Senate (Senat Mahasiswa Universitas), which represents student interests within the student governance structure. However, the existence of this student organisation does not, by itself, demonstrate that undergraduate and graduate students are elected members of the University's highest governing body, the University Senate.

Based on the publicly available evidence reviewed, elected student representation on the University Senate has not been confirmed. Further verification of the University's Senate membership regulations and official membership list would be required.

2. Faculty Representation

Faculty representation is documented through elections for membership of the University Senate for the 2026–2030 term. For example, the Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training held a faculty meeting on 9 June 2026 to elect five lecturer representatives for nomination to the University Senate. The selection process involved voting among eligible lecturers and was organised to represent different academic fields within the faculty.

Similarly, the Faculty of Da'wah and Communication Sciences conducted an election on 24 June 2026, in which four lecturers were selected as faculty representatives to the University Senate. These official reports provide direct evidence of an electoral process for faculty representation in the university-level academic governance structure.

3. Non-Faculty Staff Representation

Non-faculty staff, including administrative and professional support employees, are an important part of the university community. Nevertheless, the evidence reviewed does not establish that this group elects representatives to serve as members of the University Senate.

The documented faculty elections demonstrate representation for academic staff, but they should not be interpreted as evidence of elected representation for non-faculty employees. Confirmation would require the applicable Senate membership regulations, an official membership list identifying non-faculty staff representatives, or documentation of an election involving this employee group.

The available documentation confirms that Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University has an electoral mechanism for faculty representation on the University Senate. However, elected representation from undergraduate and graduate students and from non-faculty staff has not been established by the public sources reviewed.

Accordingly, the evidence supports a positive assessment for faculty representation only. Before making a final institutional claim, the university's current Senate regulations and full membership list for the 2026–2030 term should be reviewed to determine whether student and non-faculty staff representatives are also elected members of the University's highest governing body.
