Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB), Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS), received a Visitation Team for the Inter-Faculty Inclusive Competition within the UNS academic community on Tuesday, 3 March 2026, at Meeting Room I of the Soeharno TS Building, FEB UNS. The activity forms part of the series of events commemorating UNS’s 50th Dies Natalis, as well as an effort to advance the implementation of inclusivity values within the higher education environment.

The visit aims to verify and strengthen the implementation of inclusivity, equality, and accessibility within the campus. The program also constitutes part of the application of the UNS Inclusion Metric, which refers to the implementation of reasonable accommodation policies for persons with disabilities within the educational system. Assessment in this inclusive competition encompasses three principal standards: psychological support, physical facilities, and learning standards. All of these aspects serve as key indicators in evaluating the extent to which a faculty is able to create an academic environment that is welcoming, equitable, and accessible to all members of the academic community, including persons with disabilities.

In his remarks, the Dean of FEB UNS, Prof. Bhimo Rizky Samudro, S.E., M.Si., Ph.D., stated that the faculty has been continuously working to make improvements based on feedback provided by the university team in previous assessments, and affirmed that FEB remains open to suggestions and evaluations that can drive further enhancement of inclusivity within the faculty. “Several notes from the previous year have served as areas for us to continue improving. We hope that through this visitation, the assessor team can provide constructive feedback so that the implementation of the inclusion program at FEB can progress further,” he stated.

Meanwhile, the UNS Inclusive Competition Team, led by Prof. Dr. Ir. Bambang Suhardi, S.T., M.T., ASEAN Eng., expressed appreciation for the warm reception and preparations made by FEB UNS. He explained that the assessment is not intended to identify shortcomings, but rather to serve as a space for dialogue in collectively strengthening an inclusive campus culture. “We are here to conduct verification while also engaging in discussion regarding the implementation of inclusivity, equality, and accessibility values within the faculty. It is our hope that this process will yield tangible benefits for the development of a more inclusive campus culture,” he explained.

On the same occasion, the Head of the FEB UNS Inclusion Team, Mulyadi, S.E., M.Ec.Dev., Ph.D., MCE., conveyed that the visitation was oriented towards direct discussion with the assessor team regarding the inclusion programs that have been implemented at FEB, with the expectation that such discussions would yield constructive input to strengthen the faculty’s ongoing inclusivity development efforts.

Through this activity, FEB UNS demonstrates its commitment to continually developing an inclusive and supportive educational environment for all members of the academic community — an effort aligned with the spirit of UNS’s 50th Anniversary: “Five Decades of Service to the Nation: A Foundation for the Acceleration of Impactful and Sustainable Achievement.”

This commitment to strengthening an inclusive campus culture is also consistent with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 on Quality Education and SDG 10 on Reduced Inequalities, both of which emphasize the importance of equitable and inclusive access to education for all.
