Talk now for a bit? Was going to pass correspondence with Justin on which will do but
now have to decide what to do re buzzfeed request. Just sent you proposed tweet to
come out in front. Justin will need to approve final version too. Call now?
L 03:09:41 pin
Sorry im so frustrated. That you continue to tell me what Justin thinks. . after the mess
you find yourself in. As 75 % the result of his tactics
04:06:35 pm
The appeal doc must be great. . much harder now that they have admitted to ignoring
less damaging info. Over and over. . makes them seem fair. This is only about the
emotion. ! negotiation etc. legally you are done

Your arguments re unfair , are tricky. As you were given plenty of rope
04:12:16 pm

There are several things my smart mind has noticed about their doc. So wait and see
my draft.
04:12:18 pm
Yes. Understood.
L 04:12:51 pm
Its not about it any longer. Emotion . The rules are specific that it is not a courtroom.
04:15:19 pm

How about this? A little more direct and honest and still lets people know before
buzzfeed and deals with ththe many questions from fans that will come over twitter
after story.
"Many people have inquired about the future of the Origins Program. My second five
year term as director of expired July 1 of this year and the university has decided it will
not be renewed for another term. It has been a great honor to create and lead
Origins over the past decade. I am very proud of what my team has accomplished for
the university and broader community during this time. The University has appointed
my close colleague Lindy Elkins Taunton to be the new director of this program and am
confident she will move Origins forward in new and interesting ways."
L 04:28:49 pm
no

The elephant is being ignored
04:29:34 pm

So when 1000 twitter questions come in after buzzfeed story I should just say nothing?
This states that university has decided not to renew me. It also is my only statement
about the past decade. it is heartfelt. It is a statement about the future of Origins. Not
a statement about me. I can write something else about me later. Or nothing.
04:44:28 pm
By or nothing I mean write nothing at all.
L 04:44:50 pm
you can't say anything at all if you will not addresss the sex issue. . either you will
address it in the future in the appropriate forum. Or say nothing. A pablum like
response, will be seen as disengious

I hate to let the world hear about this first from buzzfeed and I don't want to put words
in university's mouth. I want to put out something short and simply informative. Let
me think.
04:52:04 pm
"It has been a great honor to create and lead the ASU Origins Project over the past
decade. I am very proud of what my team has accomplished for the university and the
broader community during this time. The University has decided not to renew my
appointment as director. My close colleague Lindy Skins Taunton will be the new
director and I am confident she will move it forward in new and exciting ways. "
04:57:57 pm
This is short and factual and makes it clear university made this decision to remove
me.
L 04:58:37 pm
It sounds like a eulogy, the great honor is not outweighed by the unfairness
05:07:11 pm
Lawrence
I agree but I need to say something. It is a eulogy. It leaves much to the imagination
and the supporters will say it is unfair and the haters will say about time. But it doesn't
let buzzfeed lead. And I cannot allow that.
L 05:09:21 pm
I intend to allow public scrutiny of all that has transpired in an air of total transparency
so that the public can make up its mind. However at the present time my appointment
will not be renewed as director of origins. Then
05:47:07 pm
Lawrence
Thanks. Will draft something with incorporates this idea.
