The growing demand for transparency, accountability, and measurable performance has transformed higher education institutions into complex public organizations required to deliver reliable and stakeholder-oriented services. Within this governance-driven environment, institutional governance plays a fundamental role in shaping service excellence and institutional legitimacy. Drawing on a public administration perspective, this study examines how governance dimensions influence academic service performance in higher education. This research employs a qualitative descriptive-analytical design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, document analysis, and institutional observations involving university leaders, academic administrators, faculty members, and students. The analysis focuses on governance dimensions—transparency, accountability, participation, effectiveness, and responsibility—and their integration into institutional systems such as performance management, quality assurance, and digital infrastructure. The findings reveal that governance frameworks are formally established through regulations and digital systems; however, their operational integration remains uneven. Transparency improves service reliability when supported by consistent information management, while accountability mechanisms tend to emphasize procedural compliance rather than performance-based evaluation. Stakeholder participation is institutionalized but largely consultative. The study concludes that service excellence in higher education is a governance-driven outcome that requires systemic alignment between governance principles, institutional capacity, and performance management processes. Strengthened governance integration enhances service reliability and institutional legitimacy.

The phenomenonoccurring in various universities shows an increase in cases of academic fraud, such as cheating, plagiarism, research data manipulation, and misuse of technology in the learning process. This behavior not only undermines academic integrity, but also has the potential tocreate a mindset of cheating that carries over into the workplace. Integrityis a fundamental value that forms the moral foundation of every aspect oflife, both in education and in the workplace. In the context of higher education, students are expected not only to excel academically,but also to possess honesty, responsibility, and strong professional ethics.Accountants are future professionals who will be directly involved inthe management and financial reporting of organizations. This profession demandsa very high level of honesty and integrity, because the accuracy andreliability of financial reports form the basis for business and public decision-making. However, in practice, there are many cases of accounting fraud, such as budget mark-ups, financial statement manipulation, creative accounting, and data misstatement, which occur due to weak values of integrity and moral responsibilityamong individuals. If dishonest behavior has already been established during college—for example, in the form of cheating, manipulating assignment data, or falsifying lab reports—then the risk of bringing similar habits into the workplace will be even higher. Integrity is a core competency (core comp) that determines a person's quality as an organizational asset

Knowledge must be managed effectively to facilitate transfer between individuals, groups, and organizations. The Informatics Engineering study program currently lacks a system for knowledge management. Currently, the study program facilitates offline discussion forums for the sharing of knowledge gained by lecturers and students. These offline discussion forums require significant costs, time, and space, often resulting in delays in knowledge sharing. This research focused on the analysis and design of a Knowledge Management System to meet the needs of Informatics Engineering students at Universitas PGRI Madiun. The system development method used was the Knowledge Management System Lifecycle (KMSL). In this study, the TIF KMS system using the KMSL method has been successfully built. The results of testing using the Blackbox Testing method showed that 5 scenarios and 18 cases were successfully executed as expected with a 100% success rate. Based on the system test results, the TIF KMS is ready to proceed to the implementation stage. Future implementation can be done by developing additional features such as a digital library

The declining interest of students in joining organizations poses a challenge in character development and strengthening Pancasila values in higher education institutions. This study aims to investigate the causes of low student involvement in student organizations and to design strategies for strengthening the implementation of Pancasila values through organizational activities. A qualitative method is applied in this research through in-depth interviews with administrators, active members, and students with organizational experience. The data is then analyzed based on Albert Bandura's Social Learning Theory to understand the social learning process as a shaper of student behavior. The research findings reveal that the low interest in organizing is caused by several factors, namely lack of institutional support, limited facilities, and minimal recognition for active students. Nevertheless, the role of student organizations is crucial in fostering discipline, a sense of responsibility, cooperation, and the spirit of deliberation that reflects Pancasila values. Strengthening efforts can be carried out through improved institutional development, providing awards to active students, and implementing organizational programs based on national values and Pancasila character.

This study aims to analyze the influence of student organizations, role conflict, and self-regulation on student academic achievement. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. The research sample consisted of 200 students of the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Negeri Surabaya(Unesa) who are active in student organizations. Data collection was conducted through distributing questionnaires with a Likert scale. Data analysis used multiple linear regression, accompanied by tests of validity, reliability, normality, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity. The results showed that student organizations have a positive effect on student academic achievement. Role conflict has a negative effect on achievement. And self-regulation has a positive effect on academic achievement. All three variables simultaneously have a significant effect on academic achievement. The results of this study confirm that involvement in student organizations can have a positive impact on academic achievement if combined with strong self-regulation skills and effective role conflict management. Therefore, developing self-regulation skills and time management training should be part of student organization development programs in higher education.

This community service program aims to improve the basic accounting literacy of the students (santri) at Pondok Pesantren Nurmadani NW Montong Lisung as a strategic effort to strengthen their financial independence. The program was initiated in response to the limited understanding of systematic financial management among santri, despite their involvement in various economic activities within the pesantren, such as the cooperative, canteen, and student organizations.

The main issue addressed in this study is the gap between normative policies and actual practices regarding gender mainstreaming (GMS) at the Education Office of Tangerang Regency. The aim of this study is to analyze the implementation of GMS policies using Smith's theory, which includes ideal policy indicators, target groups, implementing organizations, and environmental factors. This research uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. The results show that first, the ideal policy is outlined in Regent Regulation No. 10 of 2019; however, it has not been systematically elaborated in the Strategic Plan (RENSTRA) and Work Plan (RENJA) of the Education Office, limiting its implementation. Second, the target groups, such as teachers, students, and the general public, have not fully understood the concept of GMS, as the dissemination of information remains minimal and unfocused. Third, the implementing organization, the Education Office, has not yet optimized coordination in implementing GMS with schools, nor provided comprehensive, specialized training. Fourth, environmental factors, such as strong gender stereotypes, limited gender-friendly facilities, and low public awareness, are significant challenges in the policy’s implementation. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the implementation of GMS policies at the Education Office of Tangerang Regency remains symbolic and requires strengthening of institutions, more intensive socialization, and active involvement of all stakeholders to achieve more optimal success.

The selection of recipients of the Single Tuition Fee (UKT) assistance at universities must be carried out with the principles of fairness, openness, and efficiency to ensure that the assistance is distributed appropriately. However, the manual selection process is often subjective and prone to error. Therefore, this study developed a decision support system based on the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method to assist the selection process of students eligible for UKT assistance more systematically and accurately. The SAW method was chosen because of its ability to process data involving various criteria to produce objective decisions. In this study, the criteria used for the selection of UKT assistance recipients include several aspects, such as the Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA), parental income, number of dependents, non-academic achievements, distance of the student's residence from campus, active student status, and involvement in student organizations. Data from each criterion is then processed through a normalization stage to ensure uniformity of values and weighting based on their level of importance. After the normalization and weighting process, the next step is to calculate the preference value for each student. The results of the implementation of this system show that the SAW method can accurately rank student priorities, with a student named Selly receiving the highest preference score, 0.673. This indicates that the student in question meets the selection criteria with the best score. This developed system can support the UKT assistance selection process to be fairer and more efficient. By using the SAW method, subjective and manual errors in decision-making can be reduced, resulting in more objective and accurate decisions. In addition, this system also allows universities to evaluate UKT assistance recipients more transparently and precisely, which ultimately can increase public trust in the management of educational assistance at universities.

Buddhist education in the millennial era faces various internal and external challenges, especially in adapting to the character of the younger generation who are highly dependent on information technology but weak in filtering moral values. Buddhist educational institutions also still face structural problems such as limited human resources, lack of contextual strengthening of Dhamma values, and an institutional image that is not yet strong in society. This study uses a library research method with content analysis and hermeneutics techniques to explore the relevance of Buddhist teachings to the dynamics of modern education. In the context of the Merdeka Belajar policy, Buddhist education has a great opportunity to transform through a flexible learning approach, strengthening student character, integrating spiritual values, and improving education management. In addition, the implementation of Buddhist leadership principles such as the Dasa Raja Dhamma and meditation practices can be a distinctive force that distinguishes Buddhist schools from other institutions. This transformation requires the active role of teachers, principals, foundations, and Buddhist organizations to synergize in building meaningful and competitive education in the digital era.
