The Rector of IPB University, Prof Arif Satria, welcomed the positive commitment of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in assisting the process of admitting new students. This was revealed when Prof Arif gave directions in a focus group discussion (FGD) with the KPK which was held in the Academic Senate Meeting Room, IPB Dramaga Campus, Bogor recently.
Not only in the process of accepting new students, the Rector said that assistance will also be provided in the field of procurement of goods. This KPK assistance is carried out on the basis of budget results for the implementation of the anti-corruption education ecosystem program.
“We really support the assistance that will be provided by the KPK. Apart from that, asset management is also crucial, and managing cooperation.

In 2023, there is a main program that has been implemented, IPB University is becoming a pilot project related to guidelines for implementing the anti-corruption education ecosystem with the anti-corruption working group (pokja). “We have received input to improve the guidance document,” she explained.
