While Vice-Rector II, Prof. Dr. Akrim, MPd, added that UMSU also made a policy to provide exceptional services to lecturers in taking care of rank administration by forming the Lecturer Functional Position Acceleration Team. “This team works to help analyze and provide advice and input to lecturers who apply for an increase in functional position,” he said.
In addition, UMSU also provides special allowances to lecturers who reach the rank of head lecturer and professor. This special allowance is given to lecturers outside the government’s certification allowance.
To strengthen lecturers in meeting the requirements for rank, UMSU also provides special training to lecturers in research and writing scientific journals.
