Academic career
= Faculty positions =
Arie began teaching sociology at his almamater shortly upon receiving his master's degree. From 1992 to 1998, Arie became the student academic advisor coordinator in the sociology department, serving under departmen chair Kamanto Sunarto. After Kamanto was elected as the faculty's dean in 1998, Arie became his deputy for student affairs. He continued to serve in the position after Kamanto was replaced by public administration professor Martani Huseini in 2001. During his tenure as dean, Arie was entrusted to supervise the National Student Science Week (PIMNAS, Pekan Ilmiah Mahasiswa Nasional) held at UI in 2000.{{Cite news |date=24 February 2000 |title=Universitas Besar tidak Lagi Memonopoli Penguasaan Iptek |work=Kompas |pages=9}}

In the 2002 University of Indonesia rector election, Martani competed against acting rector Usman Chatib Warsa, where he lost the election by a one vote margin. Despite this, Arie became Usman's deputy for student affairs and alumni relations on 11 October 2002,{{Cite news |date=12 October 2002 |title=BHMN, Bagian dari Proses Demokrasi Pendidikan di PTN * Lima Wakil Rektor UI Dilantik |work=Kompas |page=9}} where he was responsible for supervising the university's student executive council and other student organizations. As deputy rector, Arie was responsible for handling the deaths of five members of the university's student executive council at the Cikuya beach in Serang, Banten, in 2003.{{Cite news |date=14 July 2003 |title=Lima Mahasiswa UI Tewas di Anyer |work=Kompas |pages=1}} Arie supported the implementation of student orientation with strict rules and regulations and advocated to distance the orientation program from harmful practices.{{Cite news |last=Santosa |first=Iwan |date=14 September 2003 |title=Merecoki Dunia Nalar |work=Kompas |pages=26}} In light of the 2004 Indonesian legislative election, UI became one of the few universities that allowed political campaigns to be held onsite. Arie stated that the onsite campaigns involve limited meetings between students and the representatives of political parties.{{Cite news |date=25 February 2004 |title=Tidak Semua Kampus Terbuka buat Kampanye |work=Kompas |pages=6}}
In 2005, Usman announced the reorganization of the university's governing system, which reduced the amount of deputy rectors from five to two: academic and non-academic. As a result, Arie's deputy rector post was abolished; he was demoted to director of student and alumni affairs, subordinate to the deputy rector for academic affairs.{{Cite book|last=Warsa|first=Usman Chatib|date=August 2007|url=http://old.ui.ac.id/download/files/memorandum_akhir_jabatan.pdf|title=Langkah Otonomi Universitas Indonesia Menuju Universitas Riset Kelas Dunia|publisher=Universitas Indonesia|pages=4|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141024164744/http://old.ui.ac.id/download/files/memorandum_akhir_jabatan.pdf|archive-date=24 October 2014|url-status=live}} Prior to this, Arie had already announced his resignation from the position in October 2004.{{Cite web |title=Guyonan Para Pimpinan |url=http://www.ui.ac.id/indonesia/main.php?hlm=berita&id=2004-09-06%2012:56:03 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050115003332/http://www.ui.ac.id/indonesia/main.php?hlm=berita&id=2004-09-06%2012:56:03 |archive-date=15 January 2005 |access-date=10 April 2025 |website=University of Indonesia}} Early into his tenure as director, in September 2005 Arie faced protests from students regarding the admission fee hike on freshmen.{{Cite news |date=9 September 2005 |title=Biaya Pendidikan: Mahasiswa Demo Soal Uang Pangkal yang Capai Jutaan |work=Kompas |pages=28}}
After the end of his five-year term, Usman was replaced as rector by Arie's junior Gumilar Rusliwa Somantri in 2007. Gumilar undertook further reorganization of the directorates inside the university, including splitting the directorate of student affairs and alumni relations into two. Arie became the director for alumni relations, while former student executive council chairman Kamaruddin became the director for student affairs. Arie and several other UI officials was installed on 25 October 2007. As alumni director, Arie held homecoming day to gather UI alumni in the campus{{Cite news |date=2 August 2010 |title="Homecoming Day": UI Ajak Alumni Pulang Kampus |work=Kompas |pages=12}} and coordinated efforts for alumni to provide scholarships for low-income students.{{Cite news |date=27 July 2011 |title=Pendidikan: Calon Mahasiswa Miskin Dapat Bantuan |work=Kompas |pages=26}}
