Ben Lockwood was a professor of U.S. history at National City University. After his family's lives were negatively impacted by alien attacks, he began to include his personal alien prejudicial ideology in his teachings on how aliens didn't belong with humans, upsetting his students, some of whom were aliens themselves. After several complaints and warnings, Dean Warren had fired Ben in spring 2018.
Following Reign's attempted terraformation of Earth, many students, staff, and their families had to move into the student housing at National City University after losing their homes in the catastrophe. As a result, the university began facing overcrowding and budget cuts.[4]
