What ‘Wicked: For Good’ can teach us about identity and belonging at UWT

As “Wicked: For Good” brings Oz back to the screen, its messages may feel timely for a campus shaped by diversity and transformation.

On Nov. 21, “Wicked: For Good” continued the story of Elphaba and Glinda and brought its themes of prejudice, identity, friendship and political propaganda to a wider audience.

The film may be a fantasy, but the questions it raises about power, prejudice and acceptance are real and worth considering long after the credits roll.

A summer of inaction set ASUWT back months

For the first time in campus history, the Associated Students of UW Tacoma (ASUWT) removed its sitting president, Elias Feleke, after a unanimous vote by the Senate. It was not a decision made lightly, nor was it the product of campus politics. The story that emerged from senators and executive board members is much simpler, and also more frustrating: The president stopped doing the job.

After reviewing evidence, statements and timelines, the Senate voted 7-0 to remove Feleke from office.
