Abdullah Taman, a lecturer from the Department of Accounting Education at the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB), Yogyakarta State University (UNY), successfully defended his doctoral dissertation in the Educational Management program at the Faculty of Education and Psychology (FIPP) UNY on Monday, May 6th.

During the open examination session, chaired by Chief Examiner Prof. Dr. Sumaryanto, M.Kes., AIFO, the panel included Dr. Bambang Saptono, M.Sc. (Examiner Secretary), Prof. Dr. Lantip Diat Prasojo, M.Pd. (Promoter 1), Prof. Dr. Lia Yuliana, M.Pd. (Promoter 2), Prof. Dr. Nurtanio Agus Purwanto, M.Pd. (Examiner 2), and Prof. Dr. Tri Joko Raharjo, M.Pd. (Examiner 1 from Semarang State University).

Abdullah Taman, who also serves as the Chair of the Senate of FEB UNY, presented his dissertation titled "Development of the Management Model of State Universities with Legal Entities (MOMEN-PTNBH) at Yogyakarta State University."

PTN-BH refers to state universities established as autonomous public legal entities under government regulations. Through Government Regulation Number 35 of 2022, UNY and several other universities transitioned from State Universities with Public Service Agency status (PTN BLU) to PTN-BH. The PTN-BH Management Model (MOMEN) developed by Abdullah Taman is expected to serve as a benchmark for enhancing the quality and efficiency of management at similar institutions.

The MOMEN-PTNBH model is characterized by three key features:

• Principled Approach: Developed with a focus on objectivity, effectiveness, and accountability, it aims to comprehensively analyze PTNBH management data.
• Stakeholder Involvement: It actively engages various stakeholders, including PTNBH universities, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology, among others.
• Innovative Application: The model emphasizes practical and innovative management practices for higher education institutions.

The assessment of Abdullah Taman’s dissertation revealed that MOMEN-PTNBH is highly feasible and practical. Experts rated its feasibility at 4.26, and users gave it a score of 4.28, both in the "very feasible" category. Additionally, the model's practicality received a score of 3.98 from experts and 4.20 from users, indicating strong practical applicability. These results suggest that the management model has the potential for widespread adoption in PTNBH institutions and beyond. (fdhl)
