LISTEN try not to talk too much. . NO RUSH . you would like to hear what they
propose. ! . you can bring along the drawing and use it as a prop . THIS is what the
office thought imappropriate? HOWEVER careful. - the meta view is that tenure
is for academic free speech. not for free behavior. . this is crucial

btw.. lots of people asking me to create a podcast.. I don't have the slightest idea what
is required.. I assume microphone etc.. plus creating some youtube channel or
something like that. Do you have any knowledge of this or know people who might
have such?

All documents will be subject to legal review. Worry only about. Reputation and
money. ! number of years payout. ? protects the university. As you will forfeit if a
valid complaint arises. . I would like pay till retirement. .

At age 75

Forfeit if a valid complaint arises unworkable. University can't investigate complaints
once I am retired. Or do you mean valid complaint of past behavior?
I am redoing document without details of retirement in there. To be negotiated when
we meet.
I would love you on phone when meeting but don't believe I can have an advisor in
that meeting.
L 07:43:25 pm
Im not in the meeting. . I have an advisor that has done many of these would you
mind if I asked his advice along the way.

Ahh. Good.
L 07:52:53 pm
DO not give in too quickly !!!! You want to be paid until retirement at 75. When he
says that's ridiculous. . DO NOT say. Well what about x. ask questions.
ONLY. Why do you think that is fair. Are you aware . ? if you say what about half that
amount. You are screwed !!. Be strong. no crying this time

This is the inflection point in your lifetime career.
07:57:44 pm
It is not a touchy feely feel good session. No confessions. I think we are both aware
of two things. 1. The university does not have an airtight case for dismissal. 2. It is
clear that I am no longer welcome. He will say , no you are welcome . Of course you
are. . to take away your leverage. It is not real
08:02:10 pm
Lawrence
Let's hope it is an inflection point and not a mudslide. :)
My bet is he won't say I am welcome. It you can bet this won't be feel good session. I
will start off cordial but aim to convince them they will be getting off easy with
everything I want.
I am betting he will start by saying that I deserve dismissal but they want to be kind
and let me resign.
L 08:04:48 pm
I am certain , that you do not have the legal grounds for dismissal . But I am also
certain that you greatly prefer that I no longer teach here.
08:06:08 pm
Lawrence
So do I tell Justin or not?
L 09:48:51 pm
No
09:49:00 pm
Who else have you been speaking with
10:36:24 pm
EFTA01614042
It would not surprise me if Justin reached out to the
10:36:49 pm
them
10:36:50 pm
Lawrence
No one.
L 10:36:58 pm
Justin? Your mole.? Secretary, asst. ?
10:37:48 pm
Something not right
10:38:04 pm
Lawrence
I made it clear to Justin that I would contact him if needed. He said he would not doing
anything unless asked.
I got an email message at 2 pm from the head of the committee asking me to call him
tonight after he finished a teaching.
10:38:30 pm
Damn. And I just got a message from the airlines asking me to check in but I will wait
till tonight to find out what this is about.

Good news I guess. Dean was told my general parameters. Asked the provost and
president and they said that was close enough for conciliation committee to write a
report, since dean isn't empowered to talk about any details re retirement, severance ,
statement to save face (which apparently the dean was ok with) and that now I should
deal directly with provost and president to see if we can hash out specifics. The
committee will write the report on Wednesday, and then presumably after that I will be
put in touch with the Provost. I have told them that I do not wish to negotiate through
my lawyer. I also made it clear that they know that I'm not agreeing to anything
specifically at this time. So I guess it is as good as it could be. I was really having a roller
coaster today.
L 01:35:45 am
Great
02:45:28 am
Lawrence
I might want you to accompany me to that. :)
02:47:01 am
Ps. Your origins postdoctoral prize money is now being used to support an
interplanetary initiative prize lecture. You should complain.
L 04:29:45 am
I can be on the phone in real time
