I'm sorry it's been a bit for me to respond. I have been in meetings all morning and was traveling last week, so there has been a lot to catch up on. I thought it would be good to share with you our method for thinking through many gifts that came in for the Origins Project, some of which have been spent on work at ASU on the project and some that remain unspent. We have received over 400 gifts for this project since 2009 totaling $3.3 million. Since the numerous gifts come in with various timings and amounts and the use of the funds also happens with various timing and amounts, it is not practical to provide an exact accounting first in/first out to see which actual dollars were spent. So instead, we looked at the data for natural break points to estimate how much of the remaining funds might be available. In negotiations with Dr. Krauss, we agreed that if requested we would return gifts to donors based on the following criteria. Please notice that in doing so, we are assuming that the earlier gifts would likely be spent in total and later gifts might have some portion left over. 1. Criteria A — we would return 100% of certain gifts (greater than $4000 each donation) that were received after 7/1/2017, if requested by the donor. 2. Criteria B — we would return some percentage of the very large gifts (greater than $300k cumulative from one donor) based on a calculation of how much might be left of the original gift. EFTA01008512 For Enhanced Education's request below, Criteria A would apply and we have agreed to refund or redirect the $25,000 gift that we received on 4/3/2017. The earlier gifts from them are presumed spent. Thank you for providing the letter from them. On the attached spreadsheet, I am sharing the calculation for Criteria B. The calculation looks at the amount of very large gifts to total gifts and the amount of total gifts that remain unspent. Using that information it determines that of the $2.6 m of very large gifts, $607k remains unspent and that amount is pro-rated between the two qualifying very large donors. The Leon Black Family Foundation is represented as Foundation B on this spreadsheet. I'm sorry for the confusion between conversations and the calculated amount. As a nonprofit and in considering our fiduciary responsibility to all donors and to the institution we exist to support (ASU), this is the fairest approach. We have decided to allow re-direction of the remaining gift funds in place of a refund of the remaining gift funds in an effort to accommodate the needs of the donors. Thank you for the support provided to ASU while Dr. Krauss's work was conducted here. Please feel free to contact me again at or via reply to this email if you have any questions.
