UNC Wilmington paused free expression events and Spirit Rocks use after unrest, threats, and a lockdown following a Charlie Kirk memorial.
UNC Wilmington paused use of its Spirit Rocks and delayed freedom of expression events on September 22, 2025, following a memorial for conservative activist Charlie Kirk that sparked campus unrest, online threats, and a three-hour lockdown.
After a student group painted the rock, opposing students repainted it, leading to viral videos, doxxing, and a false rifle alarm triggering a major law enforcement response.
The university, citing safety concerns, temporarily suspended all scheduled expressive activities, increased police presence, and urged civil discourse.
While spontaneous demonstrations remain permitted under guidelines, violations will be addressed under policy.
Chancellor Aswani Volety emphasized the need for respect and de-escalation, with no timeline for resuming events.
