Abstract

This paper aims to examine the debate of policies on preventing and overseeing sexual violence in Indonesian higher education issued by the Indonesian Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology. This policy was issued as a form of concern for the increase in acts of sexual violence in recent years in the university environment. Certain people welcome this policy to solve sexual violence on campus. However, several parties see the unintended consequence of this regulation, namely the legalization of sexual practices that are not in accordance with public norms. This study tries to explain the occurrence of polemiks between the pro and contra groups against the policy. This qualitative research collects secondary data from public documents from the government, non-governmental organizations, community organizations and online media that contain debates about this policy. This study found that the polemik arose because of the different institutional logic between the pro and con factions regarding the issue of "consent" in sexual relations. Consequently, the counter group demanded the suspension of this Ministerial regulation and urged it to be revised. However, both groups have the same goal, namely the need to accelerate the prevention and handling of sexual violence on campuses. This study shows that there is a competing institutional logic that underlies the different views, between religious logic and positive law logic. Despite criticism, this regulation is effective and implemented as an effort to stop sexual violence in Indonesian higher education.
