The events surrounding UEP Balik Kampus - uEPic 2026: Back to the Lush, particularly the removal of The Pillar's editorial display and the subsequent suspension of the activity, are not simply matters concerning a banner or a university event. They concern something greaterโ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ง ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐๐ค, ๐๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ข๐ซ ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ฌ, ๐ซ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐ง๐ฌ, ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐๐ข๐ฉ๐๐ญ๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐๐ข๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฆ.
We stand in solidarity with The Pillar, recognizing campus journalism as an essential institution within the university community. The freedom to present editorial positions on matters of student and institutional interest is fundamental to fostering a university environment.
The sudden suspension of Balik Kampus also affected students, organizations, performers, concessionaires, volunteers, and partners who had already dedicated their time, effort, and resources in preparation for the event. These efforts and the resulting consequences should not be overlooked.
At the same time, the consequences of the suspension extended beyond the immediate incident. ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ข๐ซ๐๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ ๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ง๐ข๐ณ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ฌ๐ข๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐ก ๐๐๐ข๐๐ง๐๐๐ฌ ๐ก๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ข๐๐๐ญ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ ๐ง๐ข๐๐ข๐๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐, ๐๐๐๐จ๐ซ๐ญ, ๐๐ง๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ญ, ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ ๐๐ฑ๐ญ๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐จ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ .
