Meanwhile, the Deputy Chancellor for Academic and Institutional Affairs, Sunan Kalijaga Public Islamic University, Professor Iswandi Syahputra motivated that doctoral studies are part of jihad. The real jihad is not only an individual jihad to have a degree, but an institutional and constitutional jihad. He said the meaning of institutional jihad is that if you don't complete your doctoral program, it will become a institution burden. The best doctoral program is not conducted at home or abroad, private or public, because the best thing is to be able to complete doctoral degrees.” Meanwhile, constitutional jihad refers to the national accreditation system. The system must have competent teaching staffs or lecturers in their fields for the academic development either faculty or university. "We are on a big ship, and direction of ship is determined by the quality of human resources". He said. He also motivated lecturers who are pursuing doctoral studies to be serious about completing their studies.” If you want to finish, renewing your intentions, be serious and make an effort, Allah will open the way.” He said.

Based on the evaluation, some lecturers should be able to finish this year. Several lecturers said that their study program is running smoothly.” There are no special issues that hinder to complete doctoral program. Hopefully they will finish soon." Said Izzul who is also a participant in the doctoral program at McGill Canada.
