He was in the process of “withdrawing” from the program.
This is interesting from the student handbook:
“5. Academic Standards for Neuroscience Graduate Students. Applicants to the Graduate Program
in Neuroscience are highly screened and rigorously evaluated for their potential to become creative and
independent scientists. This means that each student in the Program was admitted with the Faculty’s
full confidence in their ability to complete training requirements for the Ph.D. Thus, the Program does
not operate to select or wash out students during training. Rather, we regard any dismissal or
withdrawal as a serious detriment to the success of our program, and a situation that we will do our
best to avoid.”
Very interesting. Was glad to see his PhD doctorate was not on explosion physics or atomic physics. They said it was going to take 2 days to clear the bombs in his apartment. His car had to be checked by bomb robot. The Joker in the movie had all kinds of bomb tricks up his sleeve. Can only imagine what the police detectives have been going through. Incredible work. So we must assume the rigorous neuroscience program was too rigorous for him. Either that or he ran into a wall he could not get through. What if they discovered his neurological condition ? Or what if he figured it out himself. Wow. That would be weird. Diagnose your own mental disorder. Is that even possible ? What is it about the dang Joker ? Killed Ledger.
