Texas State University President Kelly Damphousse condemned two men who displayed offensive signs on campus the day after the election. He described their messages as "disgusting" and emphasized that such hate is not welcome at the university. The men, not affiliated with the university, were part of the Official Street Preachers group. They attracted a large crowd of counter-protesters before being escorted off campus after an hour. The university is considering legal options in response to the incident. Texas law allows individuals to use outdoor campus spaces for expressive activities without prior notice. Damphousse noted the timing of the event was particularly troubling following the recent presidential election.
