Legal Consequences of Obligations for Counseling Guidance Services on Campus

Abstract

Counseling services for all students, including students, are in fact a fundamental educational service that must be provided by every campus. In essence, counseling services on campus are an obligation that must be provided by the campus as part of the national education standards based on the mandate of Article 38 of the Regulation of the Minister of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology Number 53 of 2023 concerning Quality Assurance of Higher Education. As of this writing, there has been no research related to the legal consequences of this regulation. Concerning that, the researcher tries to examine the legal consequences of the regulation of the campus's obligation to provide counseling services for students. The purpose of this article is to examine the legal consequences that arise from the obligation of counseling services on campus for stakeholders. In this case, the researcher will examine the legal consequences related to the obligation of counseling services on campus using the doctrinal legal research method using the statutory regulatory approach and the conceptual approach. The results of the study indicate that the legal consequences that arise as a result of the obligation to provide guidance and counseling services on campus require the campus to immediately form a special counseling service unit in each faculty, proactively provide counseling related to counseling services for students, and determine planning and budgeting that is oriented towards fulfilling guidance and counseling services on campus.
