Curriculum to Cultivate
Professional Ethics

Issues
• In what direction is the Indonesia
management education heading to?
Corruption = Culture 
 Globalization
borderless world
Life Style 
consumptive, instant outcome
Existing Curriculum
• Government rule  university has
freedom to set their own curriculum
based on their competency
• The University is required to have:
 Religion course
 Civic education course
Ongoing Core Problem
• SOCIETY:
Knowledge vs. Way of Life
• FACULTY MEMBERS:
Teaching vs. Educating
Need vs. Want
Perception that moral/ethic is only the
responsibility of religion lecturer and leader
(e.g. Kyai, Priests)
Proposed Solution
Meeting of the University Chancellors /
Presidents Association (May, 2005)
Title: civic education revitalization
We committed to cultivate graduates who
are not only good/expert in their field but
also have high integrity
Implementation
• STUDENTS:
– Give extra curricular activity in religion
studies, which is designed to be a prerequisite prior to their final report exam
(before graduating from the University)
• FACULTY MEMBERS and
ADMINISTRATION STAFF:
– Give weekly religion studies to all faculty and
administration staff
