[BCSM] Solidarity Letter on 15th Anniversary
Submitted by team on Fri, 2007-02-16 06:44. National Movement NewsFebruary 12, 2007
Dearest friends of BCSM,
Peace of Christ from IMCS Asia Pacific coordination and heartiest congratulations to our affiliated full member, BCSM on successfully living 15 years of playing the prophetic role every Catholic is called to fulfill. We are indeed most glad that BCSM has made it so far in the struggle to practice the “special option for the poor” and peace building which Jesus consciously and clearly made. As a community of university students, BCSM has constantly inspired its members to play the role of intelligentsia in solving the injustices of society and has generated many leaders at both local and international scene. Continue to inspire and be inspired!

To Our Friends in One Struggle
We are students of Psychology of University of Sanata Dharma Yogyakarta what year 1997 - 1998 are being injusticed by the institution where we are studied.
Actually we are attempt when our faculty, Psychology, opened in 1997. That's mean, when the faculty of Psychology didn’t established, our faculty might be closed. These condition were bad for us.
But the establishment condition of Psychology further good for the institution of where we are studied. The quantity of students register to Psychology are increase. Vice versa, that’s bad condition students accepted.
Students what year 1997 - 1998 grew from bad condition, when national economics fall. We are not only student which its duty only go to university, but also circumstance force us become the labours. Worse again for the students what year 1997 - 1998 which also citizen of Yogyakarta, the effect of earthquake make cumulative economics burden, besides born down upon problem the effect of earthquake is also borne down upon problem in education world.
Every day we have to work, to can eat, besides study. Natural of human being express that human being of need eat, then other needs, like education need to be fulfilled. Psychology teaches this. But in reality the natural of this human being is refused the institution of where we study although it is claimed humanist, humanitarian.
Our lecturers accused us with the expression indicating that us is idlers, fools, though we every day have to work for food so can stay alive, besides go to university. In class, our rights to learn also start hijacked, though can take vacation. Our opportunity to study closed.
All time we only become the dairy cattle, something that the advantage conduct the institution of where we study, and we depressed. Voice of the student claiming the justice in the world of education be silenced. On 2001, students demonstrate with 3 claims: refusing Drop Out Univeristy system, refusing system presence 75 % in class, and refuse the abolition of finance dispensation. On 2002, finance dispensation representing poor students opportunity which of paying late without fine for students what year of 2002 was abolished. On 2004, students of Sanata Dharma made hunger strike insensible to refuse the high tuition increase when new students register. On 2005, faculties which did not conducive to the advantage were closed, and the student is dropped out from campus. The climax now when rector commutation on 2006 and yield the new policy that students what year 1997 - 1998 must to dropped out from campus, though they are part of attempt students.
This is injustice which must be received the students University of Sanata Dharma Yogyakarta. Though during the time we are taught about humanist value, humanism, but exactly student treated with unhumanist, unhumanism. Ironically this happened in institution managed Catholic priests which its religion teach love.
We only wish the fair opportunity for the our future, whereas our institution where we are studied is keeping and trying to kick out us, back off us.
Education opportunity is muzzled is equal with to break the overall of all our life. We are not student have achievement which must be given appreciation, but we are student which is because of the worse economics circumstance force us to become the labours and require the piece of understanding.

Kami adalah mahasiswa Psikologi Universitas Sanata Dharma Yogyakarta angkatan 1997 - 1998 yang diperlakukan lembaga tempat kami belajar secara tidak adil.
Sebenarnya kami adalah angkatan percobaan ketika fakultas kami, Psikologi, dibuka pada tahun 1997. Artinya, ketika fakultas Psikologi kemudian tidak berkembang, tidak laku, fakultas Psikologi akan ditutup. Ini adalah kondisi buruk.
Tetapi perkembangan kondisi fakultas Psikologi membaik untuk lembaga tempat kami belajar. Jumlah mahasiswa mendaftar ke Psikologi meningkat dari tahun ke tahun. Sebaliknya, ini kondisi buruk yang justru diterima mahasiswanya.
Angkatan 1997 - 1998 tumbuh dari situasi yang buruk, ketika ekonomi nasional jatuh. Kami bukan saja mahasiswa yang tugasnya hanya kuliah, tetapi juga keadaan memaksa kami menjadi buruh. Yang lebih buruk lagi untuk mahasiswa angkatan 1997 – 1998 yang juga warga Yogyakarta, beban ekonomi yang bertumpuk akibat gempa, selain tertimpa persoalan akibat gempa juga tertimpa persoalan di dunia pendidikan.
Setiap hari kami harus mengais rejeki, untuk dapat makan, selain kuliah. Kodrat manusia menyatakan bahwa manusia butuh makan, baru kebutuhan lain, seperti pendidikan perlu dipenuhi. Psikologi mengajarkan ini. Tetapi kenyataannya kodrat manusia ini ditolak lembaga tempat kami belajar yang katanya humanis, berperikemanusiaan.
Dosen-dosen kami mencap kami dengan ungkapan yang menunjukkan bahwa kami pemalas, bodoh, padahal kami setiap hari harus mengais makanan untuk hidup, selain kuliah. Di tempat kuliah hak kami untuk belajar juga mulai dirampas, padahal sempat cuti. Kesempatan kami belajar ditutup.
Sekian lama hanya menjadi sapi perah, sesuatu yang mendatangkan keuntungan lembaga tempat kami belajar, dan kami ditekan habis-habisan. Suara mahasiswa yang menuntut keadilan dalam dunia pendidikan dibungkam. Tahun 2001, mahasiswa berdemo dengan mengajukan 3 tuntuan ke universitas: menolak sistem DO (dikeluarkan secara sewenang-wenang), menolak sistem presensi 75 %, dan menolak penghapusan dispensasi keuangan. Tahun 2002, dispensasi keuangan yang merupakan kesempatan mahasiswa miskin yang tidak mampu untuk membayar telat tanpa denda dihapuskan untuk angkatan 2002. Tahun 2004, mahasiswa Sanata Dharma mogok makan sampai jatuh pingsan untuk menolak kenaikan uang kuliah yang terlalu tinggi tiap angkatan. Tahun 2005, fakultas-fakultas yang tidak mendatangkan keuntungan ditutup, dan mahasiswanya ditendang dari kampus. Puncaknya sekarang pada pergantian rektor yang mulai tahun 2006 dan menghasilkan kebijakan baru bahwa angkatan 1997 - 1998 mulai ditendang dari kampus, padahal mereka angkatan percobaan.
Inilah ketidakadilan yang harus diterima mahasiswa Universitas Sanata Dharma Yogyakarta. Padahal selama ini kami diajarkan tentang nilai humanis, perikemanusiaan, tetapi justru mahasiswa diperlakukan dengan tidak humanis, tidak perikemanusiaan. Ironisnya ini terjadi di lembaga yang dikelola imam-imam Katolik yang agamanya mengajarkan kasih.
Kami hanya menginginkan kesempatan yang adil untuk masa depan kami, sementara lembaga tempat kami belajar terus dan sedang berusaha menendang kami, menyingkirkan kami.
Kesempatan pendidikan yang diberangus sama dengan menghancurkan keseluruhan perjalanan hidup kami.
Kami bukan mahasiswa berprestasi yang harus diberikan penghargaan, tetapi kami mahasiswa yang karena keadaan ekonomi yang buruk terpaksa menjadi buruh dan membutuhkan secuil pengertian.
Dengan ini kami meminta dukungan Anda atas mahasiswa Psikologi Universitas Sanata Dharma Yogyakarta angkatan 1997 - 1998 yang diperlakukan lembaga tempat kami belajar tidak adil.
Dengan ini kami minta secuil waktu Anda, untuk membantu kami.
Kami butuh suara Anda sebagai bentuk dukungan konkrit kepada kami.

[PMKRI] Workshop on Neo-Liberalism and Human Rights
Submitted by team on Fri, 2006-10-20 13:34. National Movement News
Workshop on Neo-Liberalism and Human Rights
PMKRI was invited to attend workshop on Neo-liberalism, Human Rights Violations and Poverty sponsored by World Student Christian Federation (WSCF) Asia Pacific, as representative of Ecumenical Network Indonesian Students and Youth (ENISY). The workshop aimed to raise awareness among student Christian movements about the impacts of neo-liberalism, human rights violation and poverty was taken place at
Dr. George Junus Aditjondro, keynote speaker at the workshop concluded that poverty and human rights are inherent with the imposition of neo-liberalism upon the countries of the third world. As shown very clearly by the cases of Indonesia under Soeharto and
He also noted that human rights violations to prepare the ground for neo-liberalism has not ended with the tragedies in Indonesia and Chile, but have continued ever since, due to the systemic marginalization of the workers, the peasants, and all other “subaltern classes”, borrowing from Antonio Gramsci. The most spectacular forms of marginalization have occurred in the form of environmental degradation. The other form of systemic marginalization is the exploitation of workers, due to the absence of strong labour unions and the lack of government’s willingness to defend workers right. These three forms of marginalization, which are chronologically
(a) Eviction from home, workplace and/or market;
(b) Environmental degradation on various forms;
(c) Exploitation of work force can be seen as the ‘unholy trinity’ of neo-liberalism.
Recommend of workshop were urge Students Christian Movements to set up human rights desk in their organizational structure and build up working group on human rights.
