Wave 2 Archipelago Module activities at Putroe Neng's grave in Lhokseumawe.
At the street food center, the secret was revealed and added to our belief (me and several other lecturers), about cheating by a lecturer in an independent student exchange program.
This lecturer is a woman and a wife. Not yet a mother even though she has been married several times. I don't know what prompted her to cheat, against us and also against the students.
In the independent student exchange program, she was a supervisor for the first, second and third waves. Only herself was chosen three times in a row. Even though it was stated that this was the decision of the institution above, we are sure that it was due to the influence of a professor on campus who was responsible for the program.
When they met several campus students in Jakarta, they revealed what the lecturer had done. There are at least three cases that have become a bad record for the lecturer's mother.
First, the female lecturer should return IDR 150 thousand per student participating in the Second Wave exchange. A student from Jakarta revealed that they often collect this money. But the lecturer's mother always said she was busy. "It's been more than a year, mother is busy," said the student when we were enjoying dinner at a hawker center on Jalan Sabang, Jakarta.
Second, in the Third Wave program, the junior student said, the lecturer took the students to Sabang and quoted Rp. 300 or Rp. 350 thousand (I don't really remember). They were promised to be taken to Sabang. But then don't stay overnight so it's not that expensive. "When I came home from Sabang, my mother had bought an iPad," said the student again.
Maybe the iPad that was purchased was not money from defrauding students. But cheating students and charging money cannot be justified. This will tarnish the image of our campus. I asked the student to report it to the professor as the person in charge. If you report it to a central institution, you are afraid it will damage the good name of our campus due to cheating by a lecturer.
Third, during our camping activity in Takengon, Aceh Tengah, the lecturer quoted money from us for each group higher than the normal price. Another supervisor spoke with the camp owner at the activity. That's where the secret of the lecturer's mother's cheating was revealed. If there are seven groups that take part in this activity, he gets IDR 6 million from defrauding us, minus his own group.
Cheating can be done by anyone, including educators who should be a moral inspiration for students and the wider community.[]
