History

Baperki University (1958–1962)

In 1958, Res Publica University was established as Baperki University by Baperki, an organization of Indonesians of Chinese descent.

Res Publica University (1962–1965)

The name "University Res Publica" was taken from a presidential address delivered by President Sukarno, and means "for the public interest". The school was destroyed after the attempted coup in Indonesia, Baperki banned, and Universitas Trisakti established to replace the destroyed university. Many former students were banned over allegations of ties to the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI).

Universitas Trisakti (1965-onwards)

There were originally five faculties at Universitas Trisakti:

• Faculty of Engineering with five departments (Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering Architecture and Fine Arts)
• Faculty of Dentistry
• Faculty of Medicine
• Faculty of Economics with two subjects (Economics and Accounting)
• Faculty of Law and Knowledge Society

Since 1980, several additional faculties were established to cope with fast technological development in Indonesia. The university currently has nine faculties.

1998 military shootings

The Trisakti shootings occurred at Universitas Trisakti on 12 May 1998. At a demonstration demanding President Suharto's resignation, soldiers opened fire on unarmed protestors. Four students were killed and dozens more were injured. The shootings contributed to widespread student unrest and rioting during the Indonesian Revolution of 1998, which led to the resignation of President Suharto.

The Trisakti Museum was established in commemoration of the incident.
