I am tempt=d to talk to her and simply play down the retirement and say of course it w=s sensible thing to do and now I want to move on. 2. Justin is waiting for word from me saying adios.

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. 5 EFTA_R1_01826177 EFTA02620372  The questions I would like to ask are: 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? 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? Melanie Thomson who says she witnessed the breast-gra=bing incident in November 2016 is asking for a public apology from you and t=at you be required to go to sensitivity training/counselling. How do you re=pond? What do you want to add that is not in your 9-page st=tement posted after the BuzzFeed article was published in March?=/p> What else do you want me to know? I'm available by email, or at both numbers be=ow. I would welcome the chance to speak with you. I will be ava=lable until 6 pm Eastern time today.
