I'm in possession of the document with ASU =80 s determination that you violated ASU's code of conduct in gra=bing a woman's breast at a conference in November, 2016 in Au=tralia. I have also interviewed a witness to this incident, Melanie Thomson, at some length and will be calling ASU momentarily to ask about th= action it is taking as a result of these findings. I am very much hoping to get your comment for my arti=le which will post as soon as this evening eastern time. The questions I would like to ask are:<=p> What is your response to this finding? Is it fair? Is=it true? Why/Why not? What is right or wrong in the process of this second i=vestigation of you by ASU? 5 EFTA_R1_01826003 EFTA02620305  Has ASU taken any official actions against you in rec=nt days, e.g. to terminate your employment, end your administrative leave, r=quire sexual harassment training or anything else that one would typically e=pect in this kind of situation?
