In the rich body of literature that has been produced to understand the political crisis preceding the 1965 Coup —the persecution of millions of alleged communists and state discrimination against survivors and their families— higher education forms a rather under-researched sector. This study contributes to the debate on the immediate and long-term effects the 1965 event has had on Indonesian academia.

Le Coup de 1965 a profondément affecté la pratique étatique et la société en Indonésie. Dans le riche corpus d’études produites afin de comprendre la crise politique qui a précédé le Coup de 1965, la persécution de millions de supposés communistes et la discrimination de l’État contre les survivants et leurs familles, l’enseignement supérieur demeure relativement peu étudié. Cette étude contribue au débat sur les effets immédiats et à long terme de l’événement de 1965 sur le monde académique indonésien. Il présente la situation antérieure à la crise et propose une étude exploratoire de ce qui s’est produit dans les universités publiques de plusieurs villes importantes d’Indonésie durant les troubles politiques de 1965-1966. Basé sur des archives et des entretiens, cet article analyse la manière dont les campagnes anti-communistes lancées par le régime de Suharto ont affecté les campus et changé fondamentalement la vie académique et le paysage des universités publiques indonésiennes.
