TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY
Texas State President Kelly Damphousse confirmed that the man shown in a viral video mocking Charlie Kirk’s assassination on the Texas State campus had been identified as a TXST student, and that as of Tuesday evening, the student is “no longer” at the University.
“I will not tolerate behavior that mocks, trivializes, or promotes violence on our campuses,” Damphousse said in a statement posted on his Facebook page. “The individual is no longer a student at TXST. Federal law prevents the university from commenting further on individual student conduct matters.” In the viral video, first posted on X Tuesday morning, the student approaches members of the local branch of Turning Point USA Chapter gathered for a Charlie Kirk memorial at the base of the Fighting Stallions statue on the Quad on the Texas State campus, which is established as a “free speech area” by the university.
