Multiple Complaints of Kohberger's Conduct Toward Female Students Sparked Investigation and Termination from TA Position

Bryan Kohberger, a graduate student at Washington State University and a teaching assistant in the criminal justice department, has been accused of killing four students at the University of Idaho. He was terminated from his teaching assistantship at Washington State University in December 2022, more than a month after the murders. The termination letter cites an altercation with the professor he was supporting, his failure to meet expectations as a TA, and a subsequent improvement plan as the reasons for his termination. Kohberger's conduct towards female students was also a concern reported by faculty members, including following a female student to her car. However, he was not fired due to this conduct, but rather due to his failure to meet norms of professional behavior and his poor performance as a teaching assistant. Kohberger had been studying for a PhD in criminology at WSU, and a criminology student had previously described him as difficult to work with as her TA. Kohberger's lawyer did not comment, and WSU declined to provide further information due to FERPA regulations.
