    Statement from President Damphousse:
    A statement from President Damphousse: โ€œI am aware of the disturbing video that was taken at an event on our San Marcos campus on Monday. I have directed university officials to take immediate steps to identify the individual in the video. Behavior that trivializes or promotes violence is reprehensible and violates the values of Texas State.  It will not be tolerated. If this individual is found to be affiliated with TXST, appropriate action will be taken. Let me be clear: expressions that glorify violence or murder have no place on our campuses.โ€

    TXST has identified theย student in the disturbing video from Monday's event. The individual is no longerย a student at TXST. Federal law preventsย the universityย from commenting on individual student conduct matters. Statement from President Damphousse: president.txst.edu/communicationsโ€ฆ
    Statement from TXST President Dr. Kelly Damphousse: This is a follow up to the message I sent earlier today. The university has identified the student in the disturbing video from Monday's event. I will not tolerate behavior that mocks, trivializes, or promotes violence on our campuses. It is antithetical to our TXST values. The individual is no longer a student at TXST. Federal law prevents the university from commenting further on individual student conduct matters.  

Unfortunately, some people are suggesting that the individualโ€™s actions represent the beliefs of TXST students in general or those of specific student organizations. These kinds of insinuations are unfair to our student body, and they cause some of our students to feel unsafe. Just as the behavior in the video was reprehensible, attempts to spread the blame onto innocent students are also unacceptable. The actions of one person do not reflect our entire community or the individuals in it.

    Due to winter storm warnings, Texas State will cancel classes and suspend operations on Tuesday at the San Marcos and Round Rock campuses. The university will monitor weather conditions on Tuesday to determine whether classes and university operations will resume on Wednesday.
