HISTORY OF ESTASBLISHMENT

On September 15, 1961, the Tawang Alun Foundation established the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, so that from that time onwards Tawang Alun University had three faculties, namely: (1) the Faculty of Law, (2) the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, and (3) the Faculty of Education.

Tawang Alun Foundation

On September 15, 1961, the Tawang Alun Foundation established the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, so that from that time onwards Tawang Alun University had three faculties, namely: (1) the Faculty of Law, (2) the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, and (3) the Faculty of Education. The Faculty of Social and Political Sciences is actually a form of the Faculty of State and Corporate Administration, which has been running for a year at the University of Tawang Alun. At that time, the study program was the study program of public administration. The condition of the teaching staff at that time was still lacking. To overcome this, most of the teaching staff were brought in from outside the city, for example, from Malang and Surabaya as extraordinary lecturers, in addition to recruiting graduates who were willing to become permanent lecturers.

Boards and Commissions

In the 1962/1963 academic year, a new study program was opened, namely, the International Relations study program, with most of the teaching staff brought in from the Social and Political Faculty of Gajah Mada University, Jogjakarta. For the first time, the leadership of the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences was held by Drs. Soepardi Soerjohartono as Dean and Secretary Drs. Suparman Hadi. Then, based on the Decree of the Minister of PTIP No. 1 of 1963 dated January 5, 1963, Tawang Alun University and Malang Brawijaya University were nationalized under the name of Brawijaya University. The Social and Political Faculty of Tawang Alun University thus became the Social and Political Faculty of Brawijaya University, which is based in Jember. During this period, the faculty was led by Drs. R. Soesilo as dean and Soenarko, SH, as secretary.

City Manager

When the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences was still within the confines of Universitas Brawijaya, an agreement was made between the Chancellor of Universitas Brawijaya (Mr. Dul Arnowo) and the Military Commander VIII Brawijaya, dated July 30, 1964. The contents of the agreement stated that the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences was given the task of upgrading the employees, both military and civilian, in the Jember area. To carry out this goal, the Dana Karya Department was established with student employees.

The agreement is a realization of the letter from the Minister of the Army Commander to Pangdam VIII Brawijaya No.3/201/1963 regarding the holding of lectures in the afternoon and a letter from the Department of the Army to Pangdam VIII No.3/364/1964 dated March 4, 1964 concerning cooperation agreements between Kodam VIII Brawijaya and Universitas Brawijaya. Along with the inauguration of the Jember Branch of Brawijaya University to become Djember State University on November 10, 1964, the Fund for Work Study Program at the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences was also inaugurated, which later changed to the Study Program of Business Administration. On that basis, the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences has three study programs, namely: (1) the Study Program of Public Administration; (2) the Study Program of International Relations; and (3) the Study Program of Business Administration. There are provisions for changes in the structure of higher education leadership, so the Faculty of Social and Political Affairs adjusts the leadership pattern as follows:

• Dean: Drs. R. Soesilo;
• Vice Dean I: Drs. Achmad Khusyairi;
• Vice Dean II: Drs. Toekidjan Prawirosoedirdjo;
• Vice Dean III: Drs. I. Gede Widja

City Departments

Since Djember State University became an independent university (based on PTIP Ministerial Decree No. 151 of 1964, dated November 9, 1964), the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences has increased its activities. The increase in the volume of activities includes not only improving education and teaching but also research and community service activities. On January 1, 1966, Dr. R. Soesilo resigned as Dean; temporarily, the Faculty of Social and Political Affairs was under the leadership of a Presidium consisting of three people, namely:

1. Achmad Khusyairi;
2. Toekidjan Prawirosoedirdjo;
3. Soenarko, SH.

This Presidium period ended in July 1966, and then the composition of the leadership of the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, State University of Djember, became as follows:

• Dean: Prof. Mr. KRMTD Tirtodiningrat, SH;
• Vice Dean I: Drs. Achmad Khusyairi;
• Vice Dean II: Drs. Toekidjan Prawirosoedirdjo;
• Vice Dean III: Drs. I. Gede Widja

In early 1968, the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences began to produce new scholars, especially the Study Program of State Administration, which is the oldest study program in the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences. With the birth of new graduates, the shortage of teaching staff can be overcome because some of these graduates become permanent lecturers.

Since October 1, 1968, Prof. Mr. KRMTD Tirtodiningrat, SH, as the Dean of the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, has handed over daily duties and authorities to the Assistant Dean I, who acts as the Dean’s Attorney. On May 20, 1969, a Faculty Senate Meeting was held to elect the Dean as a replacement for Prof. Mr. KRMTD. Tirtodiningrat SH and Drs. Achmad Khusyairi as Dean. In detail, the composition of the leadership of the Faculty of Social and Political Affairs (ratified by the Chancellor’s Decree No. 063/BUP-I/Uned/-70 dated November 2, 1970) is as follows:

• Dean: Drs. Achmad Khusyairi;
• Vice Dean I: Drs. Toekidjan PS;
• Vice Dean II: Drs. Achmad Satar;
