Sick Exeter uni students make fun of RAPE and Las Vegas shooting victims on night out

University of Exeter students have sparked outrage after photos emerged of them wearing shirts with disgusting slogans on them

SICK students from the University of Exeter have sparked outrage after wearing jackets with "I love rape" and "I love Vegas concerts" written on them.

Other messages on the jackets included "F*** the Syrians" and scrawls of Nazi swastikas.

58 people were killed and more than 500 injured when Stephen Paddock shot at innocent victims at a country music festival in Las Vegas last week.

The students were from the Camborne School of Mines, a high profile department on the university's Falmouth campus which takes top students with A level grades of AAB.

In messages from a private group chat, a student describes the night out as "great fun" but warned "it's definitely going to receive some consequences."

Fellow students have slammed the group's actions, with one writing "whomever did this needs kicking out of our country."

In an email sent to all students, the University tells students they will be liaising with the police, and have a "zero tolerance policy towards any highly offensive behaviour of any form."

It's not the first time the Russell Group university's students have emblazoned disgusting slogans on their clothes.

Last year, students on the Streatham campus were photographed in t-shirts saying "The Holocaust was a good time," and "Don't speak to me if you're not white."

A University of Exeter spokesman said: "The University of Exeter and the Falmouth and Exeter Students Union (FXU) have a zero-tolerance policy towards racist, misogynist or similarly highly-offensive behaviour of any form.

"As soon as we were made aware of this incident we sought immediately to identify the students and organisers involved and demanded that all offensive material be removed.

"An investigation was launched immediately and the consequences for anyone found to have breached our code of conduct will be determined by our disciplinary processes.

"We take the welfare and well-being of all our students, and our relationship with the local community, very seriously and are extremely disappointed by these unacceptable actions displayed by a small number of students, and we apologise unreservedly for the offence caused.'
