The Student Deliberation of the Great Family of Students (KBM) of the Faculty of Marine and Fisheries (FKP), Udayana University, serves as a forum attended by active students from the 2021 to 2024 cohorts. This event discusses the fundamental rules and bylaws governing each student organization under the faculty’s auspices. Held on December 13–14, 2024, in the Faculty Hall, the deliberation adopted the theme: "Building Solidarity and Quality Towards an Innovative and Integrity-Based Organization."

In addition to being attended by active students, the 2024 student deliberation was also graced by the presence of the Vice Dean III, Mr. I Wayan Gede Astawa Karang, S.Si., M.Si., Ph.D., popularly known as Pak Karang. Representing the Dean, who was unavailable due to other commitments, Pak Karang delivered opening remarks and officially inaugurated the event. In his speech, he emphasized the importance of maintaining decorum during debates: “In deliberations, arguments and debates are inevitable, but it is important to express them respectfully, avoiding physical altercations or damaging campus facilities,” he advised the forum participants.

The event began with the reading of the session rules by the interim presidium, composed of trusted active students who served as the permanent presidium in the 2023 deliberations. The interim presidium was responsible for presenting and ratifying the rules of procedure. Following this, a voting session was held to elect the permanent presidium, who would lead the proceedings for plenary sessions II and III.

During plenary session II, which focused on the fundamental rules of student organizations, significant debates arose. A proposal was made to change the KBM system to a Student Institution (LM) system, as the KBM framework was considered no longer effective within the FKP environment. The session saw heated arguments between supporters and opponents of the proposal, eventually leading to a 2x30-minute recess due to the lack of resolution.

Ival, the BEM President, stated, “The KBM system is indeed good, but it would be more effective if it were replaced with the LM system. This change is expected to streamline coordination between student organizations, especially with the introduction of the new Aquaculture study program that will require guidance and support from existing organizations,” he explained.

While some students agreed with this perspective, others firmly opposed it, arguing that the KBM system remained relevant and functional. The deliberations saw participants exchange ideas and attempt to find common ground amidst differing opinions. The debate intensified as representatives from various student organizations presented diverse viewpoints, leading to further rebuttals and disagreements.

Ultimately, the forum reached a consensus to retain the KBM structure for student organizations. This outcome demonstrated the participants' ability to achieve agreement despite extended discussions and debates. Additionally, the submission of accountability reports from various student organizations underscored their commitment to transparency and responsibility in organizational management.

The decisions made during this deliberation highlight the ability of students to engage in constructive dialogue and reach mutually accepted resolutions, even in the face of differing opinions. This reflects the values of solidarity and mutual respect that are essential for the development of innovative and integrity-driven organizations.
