Academic Welfare of Non-ASN Lecturers: A New State Responsibility in Higher Education
Main Article Content
Abstract
Non-ASN lecturers play a substantive role in higher education by carrying out teaching, research, community service, academic supervision, and scientific development. However, their academic obligations are not always followed by adequate legal protection of income and welfare. This article examines the position of academic welfare for non-ASN lecturers within the framework of the welfare state and formulates a new direction of state responsibility in ensuring decent income in higher education. This study uses normative legal research with statutory, conceptual, and policy approaches. The findings show that academic welfare is not merely an internal employment issue between lecturers and higher education institutions, but a legal issue connected to the public function of higher education, university autonomy, and the constitutional mandate of the state. Academic welfare should be understood as a minimum protection framework that enables lecturers to perform the tridharma of higher education with dignity, productivity, and sustainability. The state’s responsibility must therefore be directed toward establishing minimum income standards, ensuring social protection, clarifying legal status, integrating lecturer welfare into higher education funding policy, and placing academic welfare as part of higher education quality assurance.
