Unsoed Rectorate Leadership Offices Sealed by KPK

Several leadership offices within the rectorate building at Universitas Jenderal Soedirman (Unsoed) in Purwokerto were sealed by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) on Friday afternoon, August 21, 2026. The action was based on information provided by campus employees.

According to Unsoed spokesperson Edi Santoso, the sealed rooms are believed to include the rector's office and those of all vice-rectors. Santoso stated he had not yet personally verified the extent of the sealing but confirmed receiving such reports from staff.

Regarding the whereabouts of Vice Rector I for Academic Affairs, Prof. Noor Farid, Santoso assured that he remained within the Unsoed environment. Farid had reportedly undergone questioning by the KPK at the Banyumas Resort Police headquarters on Thursday, August 20, from afternoon until night. Santoso mentioned he had recently met and spoken with Farid, who appeared to be in good spirits and was not taken to Jakarta.

Meanwhile, Rector Prof. Akhmad Sodiq, Vice Rector II for Finance and General Affairs Prof. Kuat Puji Prayitno, and Vice Rector IV for Planning, Cooperation, and Public Relations Prof. Waluyo Handoko were in Jakarta on Thursday for official business at the National Civil Service Agency (BKN).
