Agromedicine – The Faculty of Medicine, Jember University (FK UNEJ) once again demonstrated its commitment to realizing transparent and integrity-based governance through a workshop on establishing Corruption-Free Zones (WBK) and Clean and Serving Bureaucracy Zones (WBBM). The event took place on Friday, October 4, 2024, at the Kokoon Hotel in Banyuwangi and was attended by faculty leaders, lecturers, and administrative staff within the Faculty.
The workshop aimed to strengthen the understanding of all elements within the Faculty of Medicine, Jember, regarding the importance of implementing WBK and WBBM as efforts to create a clean, effective, and service-oriented bureaucracy. In her remarks, the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Dr. dr. Ulfa Elfiah, emphasized that the commitment to these integrity zones is part of the faculty’s efforts to maintain public trust and improve the quality of academic services.
The event featured two speakers, one from within the Faculty of Medicine, Jember University (FK UNEJ), and one from outside. The internal speaker, Yusuf Adiwibowo, S.H., LL.M., is the Head of the Integrity Zone at the Faculty of Law, Jember University, and the external speaker, Sardiyanto, S.E., M.M., is the Head of the Internal Compliance and Counseling (KIP) Section at Jember Customs and Excise as well as the head of the preparatory team for the office to receive WBK/WBBM status at the Jember Customs and Excise Service Office (KPPBC) TMP C.
The participants, consisting of lecturers and administrative staff at FK UNEJ, enthusiastically engaged in the socialization session. They actively participated in the question-and-answer segment, which further discussed the implementation of WBK and WBBM in their respective work units. Their enthusiasm demonstrated a growing shared commitment to realizing an integrity zone within FK UNEJ.
One of the key points conveyed during this workshop was the need to strengthen a transparent, accountable, and service-oriented work culture. By implementing the WBK and WBBM (Integrated Service Zones), the Faculty of Medicine (FK) at UNEJ is expected to improve the quality of service to students and the public, as well as create a work environment free from corruption.
Dr. dr. Ulfa Elfiah also emphasized that the establishment of WBK and WBBM is not merely a regulatory requirement but also a manifestation of the Faculty’s moral responsibility as an educational institution that plays a vital role in producing quality human resources. “We want to ensure that every service provided to students, lecturers, and the wider community is carried out with high standards of integrity,” she said.
FK UNEJ hopes that through this outreach, all elements of the faculty can synergize in efforts to realize a clean and serving bureaucracy and contribute to creating an academic environment with integrity and free from corruption. Thus, FK UNEJ is increasingly prepared to serve as a role model for other institutions in implementing integrity zones in education.
This workshop is one of FK UNEJ’s strategic steps in supporting the government’s program to create a clean and competitive educational institution, in line with UNEJ’s vision as a leading global university based on research, education, and community service.
