BANDUNG, unpas.ac.id – The threat of radicalism and drug trafficking in the university is clearly more visible. Students are indeed the target of drug dealers and radicals.
This is based on the high consumption of drugs in the productive age and the massive use of social media which is often used to spread radical ideas.
To prevent the issues of radicalism and drug abuse among students, Universitas Pasunda has prepared preventive measures.
Unpas Rector Prof. Dr. Ir. H. Eddy Jusuf Sp, M.Si., M. Kom., IPU. said that Unpas had collaborated with the National Counter-terrorism Agency (Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Terorisme, BNPT) and the National Narcotics Agency (Badan Narkotika Nasional, BNN).
In the 2022/2023 PKKMB, 4,503 Unpas students broke the record for the most anti-drug volunteers. Unpas students are also active in preventing the eradication of narcotics abuse and illicit trafficking (pencegahan pemberantasan penyalahgunaan dan peredaran gelap narkotika, P4GN).
“Unpas also recruited students to be volunteers in Alliance for Anti-drug Student Volunteers of Drug Abuse (Aliansi Relawan Perguruan Tinggi Anti Penyalahgunaan Narkoba, Artipena) along with other state and private universities,” said the Rector, on Wednesday, 12 October 2022.
Other than that, preventive measures to close down the drug trafficking in Unpas was also actualized by collecting and carrying out urinal test for Unpas new students.
“Since it was postponed during Covid-19 pandemic, Unpas will again carry out urinal test for 3000 students,” he explained.
Related to the prevention of radicalism and terrorism, in the beginning of January 2022, Unpas welcomed the visit of Head of BNPT Boy Rafli Amar for setting the collaboration and students’ education plans.
According to him, Unpas, with the number of students which reaches tens of thousands needs to be socially educated and avoided from violence-based ideology.
“Another attempt related to education regarding radicalism and terrorism has been implemented in Unpas FISIP through the require course Terrorism as Global Threat”, he added.
Later, Unpas plans to open the Centre of Terrorism Studies to make the movement/counter-attack related to radicalism effective. (Reta)**
