The university's response and Vinci's social media posts have sparked an online change.org petition to have him expelled.

"For me, if honestly, if they don't expel him, I don't feel safe going to school," said sophomore Jordan McElroy. "It is me or him, it is him or us, and I'm leaning to consider another school for my undergraduate education."

Vinci is accused of posting on Twitter and Instagram pictures and videos, many of which are now deleted, of his belief that women should serve men. On Monday, he posted a picture of former Stanford student Brock Turner, who was convicted of sexually assaulting another student with the caption, "A woman always gets what's coming to her."

Vinci also photoshopped a Black student's face onto a picture to make it appear as if she had been beheaded. Another picture showed a professor with red marks drawn on him next to a guillotine.

"He's become an extreme threat," said Stanford student Destiny Kelly.

Thousands of Stanford students are calling for the expulsion of a classmate over a series of racist comments and violent posts on social media.

On Monday, University President Marc Tessier-Lavigne called student Chaze Vinci's posts "ugly" and disturbing" in a message he sent campus-wide.


But while the message said the president would "address what has occurred" and that there would be "actions to ensure the safety of our community," it fell short of mentioning disciplinary actions.

The university's response and Vinci's social media posts have sparked an online change.org petition to have him expelled.

"For me, if honestly, if they don't expel him, I don't feel safe going to school," said sophomore Jordan McElroy. "It is me or him, it is him or us, and I'm leaning to consider another school for my undergraduate education."

In another story post, Vinci photoshopped an image to show a Black student being beheaded. The Daily is withholding the name of the student targeted in Vinci’s posts to prevent further online harassment. Vinci later posted a screenshot of the University’s racial and ethnic demographic breakdown and circled the Black population, writing “it’s time the majority started running things.” On Twitter, he posted an image of comparative literature professor David Palumbo-Liu’s face covered in red ink next to an image of a guillotine.

“Threats to members of the Stanford community, whether those threats are direct or implied, are unacceptable,” Tessier-Lavigne wrote in the email. “Identity-based attacks, of all kinds, are antithetical to our values.”

Karen Vinci, Vinci’s mother, wrote in a Facebook post on Aug. 29, 2020, that Vinci had suffered from a “severe mental breakdown” due to the isolation caused by the pandemic and the “mismanagement of his current medications.” The posts came a day after Vinci was arrested for breaking and entering, as well as pouring lighter fluid on someone.


Vinci wrote under the post on Sunday that he was now fine “for the Lord has redeemed me from my bed of illness.”

Some students and faculty members also called on the University to also denounce Stanford College Republicans, a student organization Vinci is affiliated with, for the culture created by the conservative organization that they believe enabled his posts.

“When is @Stanford going to denounce SCR, which created the conditions for this situation?” Stanford law professor Michele Dauber wrote in a tweet.

1. Stanford College Republicans.

Figures

[SheltieLover]

2. Of course

When will the courts & other institutions mandate long-term therapy for such social misfits?

4. I don't know what he's doing these days, but Susan Rice's far-right

son was SCR's president. Sounded then like his ambitions were to become a Steven Miller, or tRump, but much more successful. I searched on him, though, and didn't see any mention since 2020 when his mother was being considered for Biden's cabinet.

Did learn, though, that this August the military hanged Susan Rice, Biden's domestic security adviser, at Guantanamo after convicting her of high treason. That was a surprise. eyes:

16. What is your second paragraph talking about?

?????

[Hortensis]

17. :) If you have any Q friends, maybe ask them for more details --

and pass them on. It was quite a shock to find out, though.

3. Some young college-age men suffer a descent

Into schizophrenia... that's the age it typically starts. Problem is, it's become increasingly difficult to distinguish between that kind of disorder and being a Young Republican. Either one is likely to extol sexism, racism, and violence.

[orwell]

5. "the Lord has redeemed me..."

...That seems convenient.

"The Lord" sure loves him some crazy...

[Champp]

6. Republican incels are pitiful creatures

no wonder

7. Sounds like he has serious mental health issues and he's a danger to others.

His mother's statement needs to be taken seriously. He is physically attacking other people and making threats. He needs to be sent home.

[H2O Man]

8. Definitely.

I think he poses a threat to himself and others. He needs to be fully evaluated by mental health professionals. All the warning signs are there.


Many, many years ago, when I was a teenaged college student living off-campus, there was a guy living in the three-story apartment building that myself and other students lived in. He was a student, too. He had a habit of threatening people on an almost daily basis. This included threatening two female students in the apartment next to him.

A number of us had a meeting to discuss how to handle the situation, as it was getting way out of control. I was young then, and not aware of options. So I suggested that everyone stay safely in their apartments the next evening, and not come out even if they heard noise in the hallway. Long story somewhat short, when the fellow in question entered the building and reached the second floor, "someone" beat the shit out of him. He would move out within 24 hours.

I remember my roommate and neighbors being impressed by the blood stains on the walls of the hallway. And I became popular. But looking back, I wish I was smart enough to have handled it differently. I was just a dumb kid who knew little but how to fight. These days, you never know who has a weapon, or has a serious mental issue. In the case in the OP, I would think the school has an obligation to take action, though they couldn't report publicly on what steps they took regarding a mental health issue.

11. In the college town where I work, a former student went on a shooting spree years ago.

It's not very common for people with schizophrenia to get violent, but that's what happened in this case. He shot numerous people, killing some and disabling others. Our town has never been the same. Stanford needs to act. This is way more than being mean on social media.

[H2O Man]

13. I agree fully.

It's text book warning signs.

[yardwork]

15. Yep. I'm a little surprised at how Stanford is acting.

I suspect that if this student were acting the same way but had left wing points of view the response would be different. So I guess im not surprised. Unfortunately.

9. Completely inappropriate behavior at a premier university.

This student, and the enabling student republicans, need to get the boot. Immediately.

[Sympthsical]

10. Mental illness often suddenly manifests around that age, especially in males

Schizophrenia, clinical depression, and bipolar disorder are just some of the illnesses that can suddenly arrive in the late teens and early 20s.

The individual clearly needs help, and the school does need to take steps to ensure the safety of students.

Hopefully he can get the treatment he so clearly needs.

I don't know if it's useful to make it political. Seems like people are taking advantage to grind out some political points on the back of a young man's mental illness. Don't have a great opinion of those people, particularly the faculty, with the information I have on hand.

I don't like Republicans either, but I doubt the SCR are sitting around in meetings going, "Woo! Let's behead black people!"

The young man seems very ill, and it should be approached that way. Treatment for him and steps to protect other students.

[yardwork]

12. I agree. The school seems to be missing the point.

See my post up thread.

[Xoan]

14. Thank God he found the lord.

[Hekate]

18. He poured lighter fluid on someone? All of this behavior is sick, but that's an immediate danger nt
