Bryan Kohberger suspected in the Idaho murders was getting his doctorate in criminology at Washington State University. At the time Kohberger was employed as a teaching assistant at Washington State University in nearby Pullman.

Kohberger, 28, allegedly murdered four University of Idaho students in an off-campus home in Moscow on November 13.

He was accused of fatally stabbing Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Madison Mogen, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Ethan Chapin, 20.

Less than two weeks before the slayings, Kohberger had a meeting with faculty members at WSU on their growing concerns about his alleged behavior, according to a university record.

Kohberger had received several warnings from the university that he was not meeting expectations in his job as a teaching assistant. And called out for his “sexist” attitude.

Kohberger’s troubled semester before Idaho murders 

A letter that was given to Kohberger before he was terminated stated that he had a "sexist attitude" towards women he interacted with at the university, was "rude" to women, and graded them differently from men.

The letter also reportedly detailed a timeline of events leading up to Kohberger's termination, beginning with an alleged "altercation" with a professor on September 23, just weeks into the job.

Kohberger had a meeting with, and the professor then met on October 3 to discuss "professional behavior." 

The professor reportedly emailed Kohberger on October 21 to tell him he had failed to meet the expectations set out in the meeting earlier that month.

They met again on November 12, one day before the murders in Moscow. And the theycussed an "improvement plan" for Kohberger.

The next meeting was held on December 7 to discuss whether the struggling TA met expectations.

On December 9, Kohberger reportedly had a second altercation with the professor. Faculty made their decision to fire Kohberger at the department's end-of-year meeting in December.

His failure to meet “norms of professional behavior” in his interactions with faculty was cited as the primary cause for his termination.

His post was officially terminated 10 days later on December 19.

Kohberger leaves WSU

Just days before he was fired, Kohberger and his father began a cross-country drive to his parents' Pennsylvania. 

During the trip he was already under surveillance by the FBI. After the pair got home the Feds were able to obtain his father's DNA from the trash. And a few days later, Kohberger was arrested on December 30.

He is charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for late June.

The events leading up to the arrest of Bryan Kohberger, who is charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary, paint a troubling picture of a man, whose behavior was raising concerns with his university.
