Abstract

This article or paper aims to analyze the organizational communication climate between managerial supervisors, school principals, and teachers in building openness and positive behavior in the Muhammadiyah Commerce Education Council and its obstacles. This study uses a qualitative approach with the theory of communication climate, organizational communication, positive attitudes, openness, and communication barriers. The subjects are Managerial Supervisors, Principals, and Teachers in the Basic Education Council and Muhammadiyah Commerce Branch. Data was obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation from 10 informants, with data analysis through reduction, presentation, and conclusions drawn. This study concludes that the organizational communication climate in the Primary and Secondary Education Council of the Muhammadiyah Commerce Branch Executive is effective, with vertical communication between leaders, supervisors, and principals, as well as horizontal communication between teachers. Formal and informal communication processes support the creation of openness and positive behaviors such as discipline, cooperation, and innovation. Communication barriers occur due to individual psychological discomfort in communicating.

Abstract

The phenomenon of GPA inflation in Indonesian higher education reflects a complex social issue, where academic grades often fail to represent intellectual capacity and instead emerge as products of power relations between lecturers and students. This paper analyzes how symbolic power within academic spaces cultivates a culture of compliance and strategic adaptation among students in pursuit of cum laude honors. Employing a theoretical-critical approach and Michel Foucault’s discourse analysis, the study reveals that academic assessment systems frequently function as instruments of power reproduction, reinforcing academic feudalism and suppressing critical expression. High GPAs, in this context, are often symbolic compromises rather than genuine intellectual achievements. The findings suggest that social structures in universities shape students into submissive, administratively efficient individuals with limited intellectual courage—ultimately undermining the emancipatory function of higher education. This paper calls for academic decolonization to establish egalitarian dialogue, transparent grading systems, and a redefinition of respect (adab) as a foundation for critical and ethical discourse in education.
