Off-Campus: MCRP (long term)
Joshua Vang for Professor Rick Salazar - Sociology Teacher
Archetype: The Cool Prof (Red Flag). Insists students call him Rick. Sits on desks. References memes — always two months late. His class is packed and his RateMyProfessor score is absurd. The problem: he's a great vibe, not a great teacher. He blurs the line between professor and friend in a way that feels fun at first and uncomfortable later.
Key Students: Sam (early idol, later realization), V (sees through him immediately), Eli (takes the class strategically, odd mutual respect).
Heart: Represents the seductive version of coasting. The adult who never outgrew wanting to be liked. He mirrors Dre in the academic world.

"This class is about seeing the world differently. Identity. Culture. The systems we move through without questioning them."
"Quick exercise. Turn to the person next to you and tell them one thing about yourself that people usually assume wrong."
"Welcome. I'm Professor Salazar. However, you can call me Rick. First thing you should know: no textbook."
