The aims of this research are to describe the changing roles, statuses and exclusion pattern of apprentice lecturers in FISIP UI. The study used qualitative methods that carried out through in-depth interview, direct observation, and document study. The research findings show that the structural transformation of the university followed by internal labour market flexibilization has created social costs such as social exclusion on apprentice lecturers at FISIP UI. Post implementation of new labor scheme policy, apprentice lecturers got higher working status but accompanied by worsening working condition, access, and opportunities to work. The variation of social exclusion among individuals is related to recruitmen process, gender, job positions in department, weakening social ties, and the difficulties of entering formal labor market. Exclusion is an unavoidable process for the apprentice lecturers for achieving their full time status and even it has been perceived as a given university value.
