Universitas Gadjah Mada was ranked second in the awarding of Public Information Disclosure for University category in 2015. The event took place at the Presidential Palace, Jakarta, in mid-December. The award is given to public institutions that have proven their commitment to implement the disclosure of public information through surveys and assessments conducted by the Central Information Commission (KIP).
Executive Secretary of UGM, Drs. Gugup Kismono., MBA, Ph.D., said that since 2012, UGM has committed to implement the Freedom of Information Law (Public Information Disclosure) with the assignation of Information and Documentation Management Officer (PPID) that is chaired by the Executive Secretary ex-officio.
Furthermore, the officer takes steps to fulfill the mandate of the law, such as giving public information through UGM website at www.ugm.ac.id, allowing people to access directly the UGM Annual Work Plan and Budget, the financial statements, policies, announcement of procurement, and others.
"It is also a form of UGM's commitment to hold a university management that is transparent and accountable," said Gugup, Tuesday (29/12).
