University Sued for Ignoring Kohberger's Warnings

The families of the four University of Idaho students murdered in 2022 have filed a lawsuit against Washington State University, accusing the school of gross negligence and Title Nine violations for ignoring complaints about Bryan Kohberger, the man who killed their loved ones. Kohberger was a Ph.D. student in criminal justice at Washington State University at the time. The lawsuit claims the university knew about Kohbergers repeated harassment, stalking, and discrimination but did nothing, despite at least thirteen formal complaints against him during his single semester. The families are seeking unspecified monetary damages. Checkout Solipillow.com
