Prior to his auditor's position, Kyle, both a PhD and a [[Certified Public Accountant|C.P.A.]], taught governmental [[accounting]] and auditing from 1968 to 1989 at [[Louisiana State University]] in Baton Rouge.<ref name=campaigns/> In 2000, Kyle uncovered serious problems with an audit of the historically [[African-American]] Grambling State University in Grambling in Lincoln Parish west of [[Ruston, Louisiana|Ruston]]. A 1998 audit of the same institution uncovered no problems, but two years later, the auditor received inaccurate and incomplete information from the university administration. Grambling had four months of data missing, which rendered it impossible to conduct the required two-year audit.<ref name=diverse/>​
