According to the article, BK had been under investigation by the University since September and had a second altercation with the professor prior to his trip to PA. He knew what was coming. The letter was a mere formality and it wouldn't surprise me if he didn't tell his parents he had lost his job.He hadn't been fired when he left for PA for Christmas break. The article cited above states the letter firing him was on Dec 19, after he was in PA. Also the article states the university didn't find wrongdoing with women as a reason he was fired. (That's stated after lots of anonymous stories about improper behavior are reported in the article.)
