The lecturer code of ethics is a normative instrument designed to uphold integrity, professionalism, and accountability among educators in the implementation of the tridharma of higher education. The University of Riau has issued Rector Regulation Number 6 of 2017 concerning the Lecturer Code of Ethics as the legal foundation governing professional behavior; however, the dynamic development of higher education regulations and the evolution of academic culture necessitate an evaluation of its implementation effectiveness. This legal research aims to analyze the legal framework underlying the formulation of the lecturer code of ethics and to assess its implementation within the University of Riau. The study employs a mixed-method approach that integrates a doctrinal analysis of legal policy documents with empirical methods, including interviews, focus group discussions, and surveys involving university stakeholders. The findings indicate that the implementation of the lecturer code of ethics has not been optimal due to regulatory, institutional, infrastructural, and academic cultural constraints. Moreover, lecturers’ understanding of the code’s substantive provisions varies, and enforcement mechanisms remain inconsistent. This research recommends updating the legal policy to align with developments in higher education governance, strengthening ethical institutions, and developing a more participatory and ethically-oriented model of implementation. The implications of this study are significant for ensuring that academic ethical governance operates effectively and in accordance with the principles of institutional accountability and integrity.
