    Abstract:

    This policy paper discusses the gap between the number of students and the number of academic staff at UIN Sayyid Ali Rahmatullah Tulungagung. Excellent academic service must be supported by adequate quality and quantity of academic human resources (HR). As a Public Service University, UIN Sayyid Ali Rahmatullah Tulungagung provides both academic and non-academic services. To provide these services, adequate human resources are needed. Academic staff spearhead services to the students and society in general. The author tries to find a solution to the rapid increase of the number of students which is not followed by the increase of the number of academic human resources. This condition causes the ratio of the number of students to the available academic staff to be less than ideal. It has an impact on the quality of the services provided. Fast and friendly services are hard to achieve. Using descriptive qualitative methods, the author analyzes the sources of problems and looks for solutions to these problems. As a result, the author recommends: 1) the university leader limit the selection quota for new student admissions; 2) the university leader build an application system that is integrated into one web, Android, and IOS-based database system; 3) the university leader involves other parties in providing certain services; and 4) the university leader uses the Management Cooperation (MC) method in managing the non-academic business so that available human resources can focus more on academic services as the core business of PSA of UIN Sayyid Ali Rahmatullah Tulungagung.

    Abstract:

    This policy paper describes the influence of expenditure on professional services and transportation of celebrants at the District KUA, especially in out-of-office wedding services, on the performance and budget burden on the Directorate General of Islamic Community Guidance. This step is an effort to mitigate and resolve budgeting problems through the reconstruction of PNBP-NR management. However, in its implementation, it turned out to conflict with several related policies. In studying this problem, the author uses a qualitative method as an interpretive method, because the research data is more concerned with the interpretation of data found in the field. In general, the data in this study shows that the initial aim of implementing the allocation of costs for professional services and transportation for marriage service officers outside the office was to minimize illegal fees and gratuities. This policy was implemented because the budget posture at the Directorate General of Islamic Community Guidance was unbalanced, where budget logistics from Pure Rupiah funding sources were mostly used for routine office operational expenditure, while the majority of non-operational activity allowances were charged to PNBP-NR funding sources, whose budget revenues based on the number of wedding events held outside the office, so the planned work program will not be able to run if the source of PNBP-NR revenue is not reached according to the target.

    Abstract:

    This policy paper aims to obtain policy recommendations regarding the problem of establishing places of worship that are experiencing obstacles in the implementation process in the community. Regulations regarding the establishment of places of worship, namely Joint Regulations of the Minister of Religion and the Minister of Home Affairs Number 9 and Number 8 of 2006, actually become an obstacle due to conditions that are difficult to fulfill, especially for adherents of certain religions and beliefs. Embracing a religion or belief and worshiping in accordance with that religion or belief are human rights that must be protected by the state. This paper uses qualitative research methods by collecting data through interviews, observation, and documentation studies. The results of the study show that there are regulations that hinder the establishment of places of worship. Existing regulations cannot protect and facilitate the establishment of places of worship. Narrow religious understanding results in the absence of religious freedom in the process of establishing places of worship. There is a discriminatory attitude towards certain religions. There is still an understanding that adherents of certain religious minorities cannot build houses of worship in areas where adherents of the majority religion live. Therefore, a policy is needed that can make it easier and protect adherents of religions or beliefs from being able to build houses of worship in accordance with the teachings of their religion and beliefs.

    Abstract:

    This policy paper reviews the School Operational Assistance Fund, or BOS for short, namely government funding for schools. The BOS funds are a form of the Indonesian government's attention to quality education, but in their management, there are still irregularities. Therefore, this article discusses BOS fund management policies to improve madrasa education and to minimize all forms of fraud and ineffectiveness in its management in Kerinci Regency. So, a strategy is needed to effectively manage BOS funds to improve the quality of madrasa education in Kerinci Regency. This article uses a qualitative writing method with a descriptive analysis approach to obtain relevant data according to the problem that is the object of study, accompanied by secondary data analysis and direct interviews conducted in-depth (in-depth interviews) with seven (seven) heads of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah, Madrasah Tsanawiyah, and Madrasah Aliyah, both public and private. The results of this study show that there is ineffectiveness in the management of BOS funds in Kerinci Regency due to non-compliance with procedures, weak comprehensive monitoring and evaluation, and inadequate public complaint tools for the misappropriation of funds. The Kerinci Regency Ministry of Religious Affairs Office has not yet prepared a public complaint tool for the misappropriation of BOS funds. To ensure that BOS funds are on target, socialization, evaluation, and monitoring are needed both internally and externally by the school. Transparent, accountable, and professional policies are very necessary.
