Evaluate' the Rights and Obligations of the Lecturer: Improving the Quality of Professional Higher Educators in South Sumatra (CIPP Evaluation Model Analysis of Law of the Republic of Indonesia no. 14 of 2005 Concerning Teachers and Lecturers)

Lecturers are professional educators with high workload demands. The promotion of functional positions for lecturers is stated in the Law of the Republic of Indonesia no. 14 of 2005 concerning teachers and lecturers. Therefore, the research carried out harmonizes regulations, performance, and lecturer satisfaction using the context, input, process, product (CIPP) evaluation model analysis proposed by Stufflebeam and Chris LS Coryn 1. The research uses qualitative methods with a descriptive approach through the main instruments of interviews, field observations, and literature studies. The results of observations in the research show that workload demands are not commensurate with the rights received, such as further study facilities and promotions being considered difficult. Meanwhile, lecturer satisfaction influences the quality of teaching staff because career certainty can improve the competence and performance of teaching staff. With these evaluation results, it is hoped that there will be changes to regulations and improvement in the quality of teaching staff through lecturer satisfaction. This will have a positive impact on improving the quality of higher education and the quality of students.
