Unesa.ac.id, SURABAYA – The Chancellor of UNESA together with all representatives of the Rector's Forum for Strengthening National Character (FRPKB) visited the Army Headquarters (AD Headquarters), Jakarta on Thursday (17/3). The visit was led by the Chancellor of the University of Lampung, Prof. Dr. Karomani M.Sc., as chairman accompanied by professors from five other universities, namely Prof. Dr. Ir. Fatah Sulaiman, S.T., M.T., from Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa University (Untirta), Prof. Dr. Fathur Rokhman, M. Hum., from Semarang State University (Unnes), Prof. Ganefri, Ph.D from Padang State University (UNP), and Prof. Dr. Hurhasan from the State University of Surabaya (UNESA).
Prof. Dr. Nurhasan, M.Kes., stated that the visit discussed efforts to strengthen the nation's character to minimize the influence of radicalism among students. "This is the right step to stem the entry of radicalism and its impact on the campus environment," he said.
According to him, it is not only students who have the possibility of being drugged by ideas that deviate from Pancasila, but lecturers and staff also have the same possibility.
The Army Chief of Staff (KASAD) General Dudung Abdurachman revealed that it must be realized that students are a generation belonging to millennials and generation Z grows up in an all-digital world with all speed and information disclosure.
"It is very worrying if the spirit of defending the country of the younger generation actually weakens when responding to the development of emerging threats from within that threaten the integrity of the country," said Dudung in an official statement from the Army Information Service.
Prof. Dr. Karomani M.Sc., in this meeting also hoped that there would be cooperation between the TNI AD and universities to jointly shape the nation's character. At the end of the meeting, Prof. Dr. Karomani M.Sc., handed over the book Bunga Rampai Pancasila which was written by the Chancellors of the FRPKB. On the other hand, General Dudung also distributed the book "Dudung Abdurachman Unpacking the Psychological Operations of the Intolerance Movement" to all representatives of the FRPKB management.
“Together, working together to build a strong young generation against radicalism, loving the homeland, upholding mutual tolerance. We are optimistic that we will be able to print the nation's young generation with quality and character of Pancasila for Indonesia to progress and grow," said Unesa Chancellor Prof. Nurhasan, M.Kes.
