The Constitutional Court (MK) and Universitas Muhammadiyah Tangerang (UMT) signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) about the constitutional socialization in the Higher Education Institution, Friday (04/06). The agreement was in implementing the public lecture themed “The evaluation of the 2019 Presidential Election and 2020 Simultaneous Regional Elections from Constitutional Court Perspective.” The signing ceremony was conducted in the Jenderal Sudirman Auditorium of the UMT Campus.

The Chief Justice of MK, Dr Anwar Usman, MH, explained that the constitution required socialization through higher education institutions to the broader community. Consequently, people could understand and comprehend the constitutions.” The collaboration with UMT is the first step. The Secretary-General and the Rector have been signed MoU for the implementation ahead. One crucial step was to conduct socialization in various regions. Including in the remote area, for example, Baten Barat, insya Allah we will realize it all,” he said.

The Rector of UMT, Dr Ahmad Amarullah, MPd, mentioned the campus favorably welcomed the MK intention because governmental institutions and higher education should take advantage of building community awareness to obey the constitutional principle. “I think it is a part of Catur Dharma implementation of Muhammadiyah Higher Education Institutions. For example, education, research, community service, and Islamic and Muhammadiyah studies development. It becomes a collaborative scope for MK and UMT,” he said.

Afterwards, Ahmad also expressed his gratitude to MK, which was willing to collaborate. He expected the students, especially the Law Science Department, could benefit from the collaboration to build legal awareness.
