That university was Galinda's alma mater. The doctor was one of Galinda's teachers, and a highly respected faculty member as a sentient Animal. His brutal murder shocked many of his current and former students. Galinda wanted to honor his memory by changing her name to the way that he always - in sentient Goat fashion - mispronounced it.
