The spring semester at the University of Idaho starts today, nearly two months after four students were murdered in their house near the campus.

28-year-old Bryan Kohberger was arrested late last month and charged with the killings, and is expected in court on Thursday

For many students it will be the first time back on campus since the murders.

Blaine Eckles, the assistant dean of students at the university, said safety is a top priority.

"We have increased the relationship with the Latah County Sheriff's Office, so they are going to have a presence on campus," Eckles said. "We have also hired additional campus security officers and we're still in very close partnership with the Moscow Police Department."
