Background

Bahlil Lahadalia, Indonesia's Minister of Energy, has had his doctoral degree from the University of Indonesia (UI) suspended due to academic integrity concerns. In March 2024, UI ordered him to revise his dissertation rather than permanently revoking his degree. The university's investigation found several issues with his academic work, including potential data misuse and an unusually accelerated completion timeline.

The suspension means his doctoral status remains in limbo until he completes the required revisions and the university makes a final determination on his academic standing.
