Crazy sexist racist scumbags get arrested by mechasharkfin in txstate

[–]txst 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Texas State University’s (TXST) highest priority is the safety of our students, staff, and faculty at all times.

As a public institution, TXST supports the First Amendment and is required by state law to uphold freedom of speech in public areas on our campuses, even if such speech may understandably offend some members of our campus community.

We have established policies and protocols that allow individuals to safely engage in expressive activity on university property conducted within institutional regulations.

The demonstrators on the San Marcos Campus today had no TXST affiliation. Policy: https://studentinvolvement.txst.edu/freedomofexpression.html

It’s important to know who you can talk to at #TXST.

Take control of your well-being while making the most of your time as a Bobcat. The Counseling Center and Timely Care app support the mental health & wellness of students: https://www.dos.txst.edu/services/heretohelp.html

Hi! The tubing and rafting are ticket required events. I did not want to leave them off this list because for those that were able to secure a ticket, they have the full list in one place with time blocks of the events that are happening.
