UPH University Principles on Corruption and Bribery

Universitas Pelita Harapan (UPH) upholds the highest standards of integrity and ethical conduct through the Addendum to Rector’s Regulation No. 006 of 2023 on the Employee Code of Ethics, which strengthens institutional measures against corruption, collusion, and nepotism (KKN). This addendum formally integrates the provisions of Law No. 31 of 1999 on the Eradication of Corruption Crimes and introduces Article 3A, outlining strict prohibitions and responsibilities for all employees.

Under this article, all UPH employees are explicitly forbidden from engaging in acts that may constitute corruption, bribery, misuse of authority, embezzlement of university assets, money, acceptance of illegal gratuities, or favouritism toward family members and associates outside lawful procedures. The regulation also prohibits any unauthorised internal or external collaborations that could result in personal or group gain at the expense of the university.

Any suspected violation of these principles is subject to internal investigation and may result in administrative sanctions, ethical penalties, or termination of employment in accordance with prevailing laws and institutional policies.

Through this comprehensive framework, UPH reaffirms its zero-tolerance stance toward organised crime, corruption, and bribery, ensuring that all governance, academic, and administrative activities are carried out transparently, accountably, and in line with national anti-corruption laws and the university’s core Christian values of honesty and moral responsibility.
