UNISA Yogyakarta Rector Calls for Calm After Mass Protests

The Rector of Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta, Dr. Warsiti, S.Kp., M.Kep., Sp.Mat, expressed deep concern over the casualties in demonstrations that occurred in a number of areas, including Yogyakarta. She also strongly condemned the destruction of public facilities, looting, and repressive actions by the authorities. This statement was made after UNISA Yogyakarta officially issued a statement on its campus website on Monday (September 1, 2025).

In her message to the entire UNISA Yogyakarta community, especially those in Yogyakarta, Warsiti emphasized the importance of maintaining a conducive situation.

“We urge the entire community to remain calm and not be easily provoked, and not to make the situation even more chaotic,” Warsiti said.

The rector hopes that all parties can exercise restraint and learn from the events that have occurred. “We hope that incidents like those that occurred recently will not happen again,” she added.

This statement is part of UNISA Yogyakarta’s commitment to actively contribute to creating a peaceful and stable environment. UNISA Yogyakarta encourages differences of opinion to be resolved through dialogue and peaceful means, without causing physical or material harm. This call also serves as a reminder for all students and staff to prioritize rational thinking and not be easily influenced by issues that could provoke tension.
