The action which initially went according to the rundown finally had to end with the absence of Widi Adi as the student president for 2021 for no apparent reason.
According to Firdaus Nurillahi as the representative of the ad hoc team, the action had not been able to answer the complaints felt by the students because it only focused on one point of view. Whereas, the purpose of this activity to gather the president & deputy and also invited student alliances to straighten out existing problems.
