Indonesia's top university suspends 16 law students over sexual harassment allegations

Thursday, 16 April 2026, 08:13 · 1 min read

The University of Indonesia (UI), the country's most prestigious public university, has suspended 16 law students until 30 May following allegations that they shared vulgar remarks and sexually explicit content targeting at least 20 female classmates and seven lecturers in a private chat group — screenshots of which went viral on social media platform X. The suspended students are barred from attending classes or entering campus except for investigation-related purposes, while Indonesia's Higher Education Minister Brian Yuliarto pledged zero tolerance for campus violence and said he is closely monitoring the case. The incident has intensified scrutiny of sexual violence in Indonesian higher education, with the country's education watchdog reporting that nearly half of the 233 violence cases recorded at educational institutions so far this year involved sexual misconduct.
