According to a remembrance note published by UCLA, George had a successful career as a child in musical comedy in the United Kingdom before joining the Culture and Performance Ph.D. program at the university’s Department of World Arts and Cultures in 2008. They developed expertise in areas of LGBTQ and Disability Studies, earned their doctorate in 2014, taught several classes and were “highly respected, revered and adored" by peers and students alike.
"Those of you who had the honor of taking this course or being in one of Doran’s discussion sections know that their heart was as big as their laugh, and that their dedication to social justice was informed by their own queer immigrant experience," said Alicia Gaspar de Alba, a UCLA professor, in a separate note to colleagues.
The room in which George was found — replete with padded floor tiles, a metal cage and a padded examination table — was described as being “outfitted as a BDSM style dungeon” in the autopsy report.

Fake academics.
Whole thing is a big scam.
They/their?
One presumes those were his pronouns? He/his weren’t good enough?
Madness that this is embraced by a major university. It obfuscates meaning.

Molding the minds of our youth..
Agreed! You just can't make this stuff up. What's worse is that young people were going into serious debt for the privilege of being exposed to this sickness.
"...expertise in areas of LGBTQ and Disability Studies..."
Now there's a real money making career path for ya. If you're a charlatan university professor that is. Not so much if you're unfortunate enough to be one of their "students". Given the mummification ritual involved I shudder to think of what one of his "discussion" sessions entailed.
