From: "jeffrey E." <[email protected]> To: Lawrence Krauss Subject: Re: another pass Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2018 11:35:58 +0000 Davis responded that the Marchant case was "uncharted territory" for the NSF and highlighted gaps in communication between different branches of the NSF—gaps the agency is now trying to plug. She stated that every sexual harassment case reported to the NSF now will be coordinated with her office. She also affirmed the NSF's goal to be more proactive in documenting cases, disclosing that the agency was made aware of an university placing a faculty member on administrative leave pending an investigation just this past Thursday. Within two hours, Davis said, her office had assembled a team to look into the matter and updated its database with information about the case. Last Thursday was also the day that Buzzfeed News published its investigative article detailing a decade-long history of sexual misconduct claims alleged against Lawrence Krauss, a theoretical physicist at Arizona State University. The university has since said in a statement that it is investigating the matter, but did not announce any administrative actions taken against him. Other scientific organizations have since begun to blacklist Krauss from their events. Sun Devils Against Sexual Assault, an survivor-activist organization at Arizona State University, did however start a Change.org petition yesterday, pressuring the university to fire Krauss. "Arizona State University has protected faculty sexual predators for decades," Jasmine Lester, an ASU alum and director of the organization, told Gizmodo via email, referencing past incidents when ASU professors have been found to be sleeping with their students, "but we hope that with so many witnesses and victims speaking out the ASU administration will make the decision multiple peer institutions have made to ban Krauss from campus and protect students from sexual violence."

I have toned down some things, and referred to the reporters rather than Buzzfeed itself.. and tightened up and expanded the last section on my possible inadvertant verbal transgressions. This is still a work in progress and needs to be handled very carefully if it is not to inflame the community, and possibly incite more false allegations, either by the Buzzfeed reporters, or others in the community.
