From: Lawrence Krauss < Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2018 8:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Fwd: Action this week? Provost's earlier emails. Get copy of original report? An interesting discovery by me. The first i=vestigation was supposed to protect me from having to deal with further com=laints about the same issue. See below. Lmk Lawrence M. Krauss<hiv> Foundation Professor School of Earth & Space Exploration and Phy=ics Department Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ 85287-1404 <x-apple- krauss.faculty.asu.edug=iv> Dear Justin and Courtney: I wanted to ask you whether, if I do not hear=anything today, You or I can or should contact either Erin or the Provost r=garding the current process, as it is well past the timeframe Erin indicate= for its resolution. I also realize that I never received the o=iginal report in October regarding the conclusion of the first investigatio=, and that it would be useful to have a copy of that, to see specifically h=w it was worded, etc, so that we can see what it said and did not say. &nbs=;l was going to email the provost's office and ask for that. =K? In preparation=for writing a letter requesting that report I went back to correspondence f=om the Provost to see if I had ever received any info on that report other t=an the fact that the case we dismissed, which I only heard from OEI, and I s=e this letter. NOTE THE SENTENCE I HAVE HIGHLIGHTED. Doesn =99t this suggest they would not reopen the investigation into Melbourne eve= if there were further complaints? Should we do anything with this?</=iv> Thanks for answerin= my 3 questions. LMK Lawrence M.

Your point regarding the sensitivity=of these investigations is very well taken. As I'm sure you can=appreciate, it's very challenging to determine what complaints may b= valid or invalid, when one initially receives incomplete and one-sided inf=rmation. =/span>But university policy requires us to investigate complaints re=arding discrimination. Thus the Office of Equity and Inclusion takes al= allegations seriously. They do not begin with any assumptions about gu=lt or innocence. And= in your case, the process worked; there was an inquiry and a quick determi=ation that there were no grounds to assert a violation.&nb=p; You suggest that because the v=nue was unrelated to ASU, the university had no authority to investigate th= concerns reported. However, my understanding is that you were listed o= the program as an ASU faculty member. Given your reputation and s=ature in your field, it's difficult to dissociate from your officia= position. That implies that you were there as a representative of ASU as o=posed, for example, to participating in a political rally as part of an ano=ymous crowd. While I realize that it's uncomfortable b=ing the subject of an investigation, the process also protect= you; you were cleared. Should any additional complaints regardin= that episode come to us, we will simply indicate that.=/o:p> <=:p class=""> I hope this helps to clear up some of your concerns regard=ng the process; our goal is to insure that such investigations are handled p=omptly and fairly, and we will continue to seek ways to improve. Thank you for reaching out. 2 EFTA_R1_01892423 EFTA02651177  Mark S.
