Home Minister Mardiyanto installed Ngadisah, head of research at the ministry, as the new rector of the troubled Public Administration Institute (IPDN), which trains civil servants.
Mardiyanto said in his speech that the new rector must improve the image of IPDN, which was recently rocked by a number of incidences of violence among students.
The minister asked the new rector to take action to improve the institute over the next two years, ensuring IPDN has a record clean of any violence and is the subject of no more "bad news" reports.
Also present at the swearing-in ceremony were acting rector Johanis Kaloh and former rector I Nyoman Sumaryadi, who had just been acquitted in the Sumedang District Court in West Java of criminal charges related to a student's death.
In past years, a number of students have been reported to have died as a result of violence at the campus. (yul)
