LUBBOCK, Texas – An 18-year-old Texas Tech University student is no longer enrolled at the university after a video appearing to show her mocking the death of Charlie Kirk went viral. The now-former student, Camryn Giselle Booker, is allegedly seen in the videos arguing with another person in the free speech area on the campus.

What they’re saying:
Texas Tech confirmed on Monday to FOX Television Stations in an email that Booker is no longer enrolled at the university.
“Any behavior that denigrates victims of violence is reprehensible, has no place on our campus, and is not aligned with our values. Federal law prevents Texas Tech University from commenting on individual student conduct matters. We take all reported violations seriously and address them under university policy and the law,” the university also said in a statement.
Texas Tech Board of Regents Chairman Cody Campbell reposted the governor’s statement and said, “We are proud of our values and are not afraid to stand up for them.”
