How exactly did a Stanford professor end up homeless? And why in the world would they be taking classes afterwards?

Very serious mental illness. He had fairly frequent episodes, but in between he seemed just fine. His homework assignments were mostly really tragic to look at.

I expect that most cases of people going from a solid social position to homeless involve mental illness and/or addiction.
