"So that the ideals of bringing Islam in various aspects of life will feel real," he explained.

Then, Rector Asep Jahar revealed, the inauguration of the seven professors this time made UIN Jakarta as PTKIN which has the largest number of professors. The number of professors at UIN Jakarta currently totals 138 people.

According to him, the addition of professors in UIN Jakarta is an important part of the academic development of the university. The core of the college's reputation is in the responsibility of professors through the implementation of their respective academic responsibilities.

Furthermore, Rector Asep Jahar appreciated the struggle of the professors for their academic achievements in their respective fields of knowledge. However, behind that, there is a great responsibility that must be carried out by them.

According to him, professors are true teachers, which means teaching and guiding. It does not mean that after becoming a professor, they stay away from their students or even difficult to contact by students.

"This is an irony that cannot and should not happen in higher education," he said. (Text: M. Naufal Waliyuddin/Farah NH/ZM & Photo: Indra & Fadli)
