About
UGM is one of Indonesia's most consequential public universities, founded in the independence period and publicly oriented around Pancasila, national service, education, research, and community service.
The record shows strong national education, community service, sustainability/governance recognition, and visible reforms after campus sexual-violence failures. The Agni case remains an important negative marker because credible reporting described delayed and survivor-burdening handling before later correction.
Five Pillars
Pillar scores (0–100%)
