Cal Poly Humboldt student and protest organizer Rick Toledo was charged with Time, Place, and Manner (TPM) violations following the Palestine vigil and march held on Oct. 7, 2025.

Under the TPM policy, if protesting on campus, a form must be filled to reserve the space. Toledo’s TPM violation case stems from Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), Students for Quality Education (SQE), and Cal Poly Humboldt’s California Faculty Association’s (CFA) initial attempt to reserve the Lower Quad for the Palestine vigil and march.

“Nobody was here, if there was a reservation, it sure didn’t look like it. So we came in and made a statement, ‘Look around, is there an event here? They would not let us do this.’ And then we came back,” Toledo said. “ I think that’s where they’re [the administration] saying that the conflict happened.”

Fuego Fridays are back at the Arcata Theatre Lounge, featuring local DJs, dancers and a safe space for BIPOC communities to come together.

Fuego is a Latin dance club night, with DJs playing a variety of music from different parts of the world, offering a deeper look into the lives that exist throughout Humboldt.

The next and last Fuego night of the year will be held Dec. 12. Fuego nights are typically held on the second Friday of each month, unless the ATL is hosting a different event. @fuegoreggaetonparty

The sexy circus came to town for Cal Poly Humboldt’s sixth annual Kink on Campus event. The main event took place on Nov. 13 in the KBR room found in the Gutswurrak Student Activities Center. Kink on Campus is an event centered around education on
kinks, sex, sexual pleasure and more.

Among the itinerary for the circus was a drag performance, but due to illness, the performer had to cancel. Despite that, the show went on with
a dance performance from Trinity Tramp, an early childhood education major. She shared why events like Kink on Campus are important to show up for.

“I think events like this definitely help and give resources for people who are fresh out of high school or shamed for talking about things openly. If you don’t allow things to be talked about openly it becomes shameful and shameful doesn’t decrease it, it just
becomes an internalized knot.”

El circo sexy llegó a la ciudad para el sexto evento anual de Kink on Campus de Cal Poly Humboldt. El evento principal tuvo lugar el 13 de noviembre en el salón KBR, ubicado en el Centro de Actividades Estudiantiles Gutswurrak.Kink on Campus es un evento centrado en la educación sobre kinks, sexo, placer sexual y más.

Entre la programación del circo había una presentación drag, pero debido a una enfermedad, el artista tuvo que cancelar. Aun así, el espectáculo continuó con una presentación de baile por Trinity Tramp, estudiante de educación infantil. Ella compartió por qué es importante asistir a eventos como Kink on Campus.

“Creo que eventos como este definitivamente ayudan y ofrecen recursos a personas que recién salen de la preparatoria o que han sido avergonzadas por hablar de estas cosas abiertamente. Si no permites que estos temas se hablen abiertamente, se vuelven vergonzosos, y la vergüenza no los disminuye; solo se convierte en un nudo internalizado.”

In late September 2025, Cal Poly Humboldt was awarded the Seal of Excelencia from Excelencia in Education after three years of applying for the award. CPH now joins the fewer than 50 higher education institutions nationwide that have received the Seal. The Seal recognizes the intentional, data-backed efforts that a university or college has taken to support the success of its Latine students.

“Going to a seal-certified institution means that that institution is going to enroll you and get you to the finish line, and do everything possible to get you there,” Excelencia in Education’s Vice President of Institutional Capacity Eyra Pérez said.

“Wicked: For Good” featuring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande is a continuation of the film released last November. To be frank I was never a huge musical fan, nor did I really know what to expect with the cult favorite, Wicked. Wicked part one was amazing and was filled with many political allegories that are relevant to today’s political climate. I was bummed to find out I had to wait a whole year for part two but nonetheless, I marked my calendar and soon enough Nov. 21 finally arrived.

Throughout the movie we see different forms of resistance and activism throughout Oz, and what it truly means to be good. This movie is bigger than just Glinda the popular and Elphaba the outcast, working out their differences and becoming friends. This film demonstrates the power of language, propaganda and mirrors today’s world. It demonstrates how we become reflections of loved ones, and learn from one another.

“Wicked: For Good”, con Cynthia Erivo y Ariana Grande, es la continuación de la película estrenada el pasado noviembre. Para ser sincera, nunca fui una gran fanática de los musicales, ni sabía muy bien qué esperar de Wicked, un favorito de culto. Wicked parte uno fue increíble y estuvo llena de alegorías políticas muy relevantes para el clima político actual. Me decepcionó enterarme de que tenía que esperar un año entero para la segunda parte, pero aun así marqué la fecha en mi calendario y, por fin, llegó el 21 de noviembre.

A lo largo de la película vemos distintas formas de resistencia y activismo en Oz, y lo que realmente significa ser bueno. Esta película es más que Glinda, la popular, y Elphaba, la marginada, resolviendo sus diferencias y haciéndose amigas. La película demuestra el poder del lenguaje, la propaganda y refleja el mundo actual. Demuestra cómo nos convertimos en reflejos de nuestros seres queridos y aprendemos unos de otros.

On Nov. 14, at 2 p.m., two members of Associated Students were impeached by the Associated Students Board of Directors during their bi- weekly board meeting. A.S. consists of representatives elected by the student body to advocate for the campus community. During the new business, the A.S. Board of Directors reviewed and voted upon impeachment sanctions for Anna Martinez, Officer of Social Justice, Equity and Inclusion, and Mary Angelie Mangubat, the Officer of External Affairs.

Executive Vice President, Ayan Cabot, stated in the Articles of Impeachment document they drafted, that grounds for impeachment went forward due to a violation of the A.S. Bylaws and Accountability Policy for not completing duties. The policy states, “If a member’s accountability point balance reaches zero (0), 50% of their stipend shall be deducted and the Executive Vice President shall prepare the Articles of Impeachment, placing the Board Member on the next Board of Directors meeting agenda to proceed with the impeachment process.” Both impeached members had gone below zero points and were notified of their violations on Oct. 31.

Martinez and Mangubat argued that their impeachment was in retaliation against them speaking up about equal pay for subcommittee members. Mangubat also argues that her impeachment was due to her own unprofessionalism. She claims that the student board cares more about swearing than the issues at hand, after tensions rose at the Oct. 31 board meeting, which is not available for public record.
