Amid university budget cuts, SDSU’s president continues to live in a mansion rent, mortgage and property tax-free.

Adela de la Torre lives in a gated community just east of campus, in a home valued at $3.7 million, provided to her as a perk from the university.

We shouldn’t be comfortable with our school’s top executive living in extravagant conditions while everyone else on campus faces down budget cuts and hiring freezes and many students struggle financially.

In Pacific Beach, where surfboards lean against fences and the ocean is never more than a few blocks away, coffee shops are more than a pit stop to grab caffeine. They’re cornerstones of community and a real way of life.

These cafés have become cultural fixtures, where friendships form over oat milk lattes and beach lovers refuel after early surf sessions. From longtime staples to up-and-coming spots, Pacific Beach’s coffee scene is redefining the role of the neighborhood café. They’re shaping the social scene of the town and the areas around it.

For many, coffee shops in PB serve as a “third place.” They’re not home, not work, but a meaningful in-between where regulars greet baristas by name and out-of-towners feel like locals for the morning.

Mohamed Erekat, a Palestinian from Jerusalem and a member on the AS board of directors, was denied a feature on the Associated Students (A.S.) Instagram page because he referred to what is currently happening in Gaza as a genocide within the caption of his social media draft post.

This post was meant to spotlight Erekat during Southwest Asian and North African Heritage Month as part of an ongoing series of posts to honor SWANA students who hold leadership positions within A.S.

Erekat’s highlight post was denied by A.S. Executive Director Christina Brown, due to Erekat’s inclusion of the phrase “genocide in Gaza.” Instead, he was offered “suggested alternatives” in hopes that he would substitute the phrase to “humanitarian crisis in Gaza,” “mass displacement and civilian casualties in Gaza” or “severe conflict with widespread loss of life in Gaza.”
