I find this very surprising and concerning, given the nature =f the source. Are you reopening an investigation 
because of a =uzzfeed article? Did the new alleged witnesses contact ASU =irectly with an independent complaint or to 
offer new information to =ou? Is there justification for reopening an investigation without a new =omplaint or offer of 
information? Is your office planning to =cour the internet in search of claims about me or anyone else at ASU in =rder to 
initiate investigations? 
Following on these questions, and =epending on your response to them, I should add that, as I believe you =re 
aware, ANU carried out their own independent investigation under the =eadership of Dean Kiaran Kirk. Over a period of 
one month, they =ontacted the alleged witness or witnesses and the organizers of the =eeting, and uncovered 
inconsistencies in the emerging narrative that =merged, and after this investigation they too dismissed the allegation =s 
unsubstantiated. This was not mentioned in the Buzzfeed =rticle, in spite of the fact that they were aware of it, but I did

EFTA02512737
send =he report to Cynthia Jewett at ASU, cc'd here. I would =ssume that this would not only impact on the credibility 
of claimed =itnesses, but I would also suggest that Dean Kirk and his team are at =east as equally credible as sources of 
information as =uzzfeed. 
I =ppreciate your attention to these questions. My concerns about =his procedure are significant.

Hello Dr. Krauss, 
I am unable to send you a =opy of the photograph that was submitted to my office. However, I am =lad 
to schedule a time for you to view the photograph in my office. =ust so you are aware, this is the same photograph that I 
shared with =ou when we met in your office on August 24, 2017. 
I would also like to inform =ou that my office is re-opening the investigation that I conducted last =ear 
given new information disclosed in a recent news article. This =rticle provided the names of two new eyewitnesses, 
Michael Marshall and =o Alabaster, who reported observing the alleged behavior/conduct at the =016 Australian 
Skeptics Convention. 
I have attached a Notice of =nvestigation and university policies and procedures to this email. 
Thank you,

Hi=Dr. Krauss, 
During our phone =onversation on August 25th I informed you of my =inding, that there was no

I hope this helps to =larify our interaction and the other remaining steps outlined in P20
