However, it =ppears the =eporting party, in one instance, may have and that is the =ndividual's prerogative. The University is =ollowing its established policies and procedures and they have been =rovided to you. But, let me review the =elevant ASU =olicies regarding your note. Under ACD 401 and its procedures =n P20, the Provost receives the investigative report from the Office of =quity and Inclusion and makes the determination. There is no =ppeal from the determination. The determination is provided EFTA_R1_01786458 EFTA02599764 to =he reporting party, the respondent, the Title IX Coordinator and the =ppropriate administrator (in this case me). The procedure was =ollowed. Regarding the second determination you received, the document was sent to the Title IX Coordinator and to ryself. The reporting party in that instance was the University =i.e,. Title =X Coordinator). This is set forth in P20. The disciplinary =rocess that I have initiated is a separate policy (ABOR 6-201.J and L) =nd we are following those procedural steps as well. That process =llows you to contest the sufficiency of the administration's =vidence to support the disciplinary action of dismissal for just =ause. Thanks, =at From: Lawrence Krauss Sent: Friday, August 3,21/11:1.1 To: Mark Searle; Patrick =enney Cc: Lawrence Krauss Subject: Fwd: highly time-sensitive =nquiry from a Science magazine reporter Dear Mark and Patrick: Please see the attached =mail and link to Science Magazine article. I received a similar =mail from Peter Aldhous at BuzzFeed. I am shocked and dismayed by =he release of what I thought was confidential information at the time =y the University and its subsequent release to the media. My =nderstanding is that the investigation process is subject to ronfidentiality terms, and moreover, as I have expressed my intent to =ppeal, this process is ongoing. I have numerous problems with the =nvestigative reports and findings which would be aired at such an =ppeal. In what way is release of such detailed information in a =etter to the complainant at this time not a violation of =onfidentiality and my rights therein?

I have also =nterviewed a witness to this incident, Melanie Thomson, at some length =nd will be calling ASU momentarily to ask about the action it is taking =s a result of these findings. I am very =uch hoping to get your comment for my article which will post as soon =s this evening eastern time. The =uestions I would like to ask are: What is =our response to this finding? Is it fair? Is it true? Why/Why =ot? What is right or wrong in the process of this =econd investigation of you by ASU? Has ASU =aken any official actions against you in recent days, e.g. to terminate =our employment, end your administrative leave, require sexual =arassment training or anything else that one would typically expect in =his kind of situation? Melanie =homson who says she witnessed the breast•grabbing incident in November =016 is asking for a public apology from you and that you be required to =o to sensitivity training/counselling. How do you respond? What do you want to add that is not in your 9-page =tatement posted after the BuzzFeed article was published in =arch? What else do you want me to =now? I'm available by email, or at both numbers =elow. I would welcome the chance to speak with you. I will =e available until 6 pm Eastern time today.
