The Grogol campus of the university was the site of the killing of four university students on May 12, 1998 during a massive student demonstration demanding political reforms. The shootings, a part of widespread unrest contributed to widespread student unrest during the Indonesian Revolution of 1998 that led to the resignation of president Suharto.

A significant recent development at Trisakti is the teaching of binary economics on the Islamic Economics & Finance postgraduate program (whose International Chair is Professor Masudul Alam Choudhury). Binary economics uses central bank-issued interest-free loans (administered by the banking system) for the spreading of productive (and the associated consuming) capacity, on market principles, throughout the population.
