Who is Dr. William Arscott?

Dr. William Arscott is a character in Maddison Atkins. He is Clara Stokes's cinematography professor and academic advisor at Stephen F. Austin. He assigned her the topic of "Maddison Atkins and Adam Wilmott's deaths" for her final thesis. There has been much speculation as to his motivation for doing so.
Also, in Rachel's video Where Does The Time Go?, she thanks her film professer, Dr. Arscott, for giving her an extention on her project. The idea that there are two Dr. Arscotts in the story is very far-fetched, so viewers are left to assume that they are one in the same and that Rachel attends Stephen F. Austin with Clara.
