UNY Inaugurates New Professors, Urging the Public to Shun Instant Achievements and Embrace Humanistic Values

Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta (UNY) officially inaugurated four new professors from the Faculty of Sports and Health Sciences (FIKK) on Tuesday (23/9/25). However, the ceremony held at the Main Senate Hall of the Rectorate was far more than a routine academic ritual. Through their inaugural lectures, the four professors delivered a shared manifesto that challenged outdated views of sport—calling for a shift away from an obsession with instant achievement toward a more humanistic, scientific, and sustainable approach.
