Why the reason

That was part of why the reason freshman Brent Bielski decided to come back, after spending last semester at a college in Florida

Is it correct to say "why the reason"...instead of "the reason why...?

Thank you

It's just an error. Probably the writer was dithering between part of why freshman.... and part of the reason freshman...
