On August 27, 2024, the Faculty of Adab and Humanities (FAH) UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta held a lecturer meeting for the odd semester of the 2024/2025 academic year. The meeting was held in the 5th Floor Theater Room of FAH, attended by all lecturers in the faculty. This event carried the theme “Lecturer Meeting for the Odd Semester 2024/2025” and presented Naili Sa'adah, S.Kom, Head of the HR Team of UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, as a resource person. Dr. Siti Amsyariah, M.Ag, Vice Dean 2 Administration, acted as moderator in the event.

Mrs. Naili Sa'adah explained several important points related to the lecturer promotion process which was the main focus of this meeting. She explained that the lecturer promotion process is now simpler and does not require many administrative requirements. Lecturers only need to provide a proposal note from the dean as proof of work used to fulfill the Main Performance Indicators (IKU) and Individual Performance Indicators (IKI). According to Ms. Naili, this process can be completed quickly, even in about five minutes.

Furthermore, Mrs. Naili emphasized the importance of lecturers matching data in the SISTER system by August 31, 2024. This needs to be done to apply for NUPTK. She also explained that currently, there is no more NIDN; lecturer status will be distinguished only between permanent and non-permanent lecturers. Lecturers' data will be recorded in PDDikti, and updating lecturer profile data is very important because it is closely related to the promotion process and future career prospects of lecturers. The SISTER system, according to her, is the “life” of lecturers because it functions as a data center that includes rank, position class, and scientific works that are automatically synchronized with Sinta data. 

The discussion in this meeting was interactive with several questions from the lecturers. One of the questions that arose was about managing credit numbers for promotion. Mrs. Naili explained that the existing credit score will not be lost but will only be reduced by the new credit score. In addition, there were also questions about the faculty's efforts to encourage lecturers to excel more, including regarding budget transparency related to lecturer promotions.

The Dean of FAH also gave important directions during the meeting. He conveyed the faculty's target, which is to increase the number of students who graduate on time by 50% and encourage increased international cooperation. The Dean also emphasized the importance of increasing the frequency of thesis guidance and improving the quality of lecturers' writings and scientific works, which are expected to support and cite each other. He also revealed that the faculty will apply for superior accreditation for all study programs and continue to conduct Evaluation of Lecturers by Students (EDOM) as an effort to improve teaching quality.

In addition, some lecturers provided input related to other aspects of the faculty. There were suggestions regarding changes to the interior design of the faculty, increasing the stability of interest in the tarjamah program in line with technological developments, and strategies to attract more new students. The lecturers also discussed various efforts to increase student participation and understanding of important issues such as democracy and code of ethics.

With the implementation of this lecturer meeting, the Faculty of Adab and Humanities is expected to continue to improve its academic and administrative quality, and realize various targets that have been set to support the development of science and education at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta.
