• Claremont Police Department called on senior graduation party, raising questions around college police protocol (tsl.news) — A late-night Pomona College senior party in Claremont ended with Campus Safety calling in the Claremont Police Department, prompting questions about when and why city police are involved on the 5C campuses. Students and residence life workers say they were never trained on any protocol for summoning CPD, and TSL's review of handbooks and MOUs highlights unclear guidelines around noise, trespassing, and "unauthorized" gatherings. 
• After Coop Store backlash, 5C businesses to navigate AI's growing role (tsl.news) — Campus shops and eateries around the Claremont Colleges are rethinking how, or whether, to use generative AI after backlash to AI-made Coop Store Instagram posts. From Pomona's dining services experimenting with waste-cutting tools to Pitzer's Grove House rejecting AI graphics in favor of handmade art, 5C businesses are sketching out very different approaches that will shape daily life for Claremont students.
