As it seemed to me last night, our scooping the university got the right=narrative out and things have

1. Should I talk to her? I sent her the press release y=sterday. Dare I say anything? I am tempted to talk

2. Justin is waiting for=word from me saying adios. Do I say it?

Dear Dr. Krauss,
I'm a reporter with Science in Washington, D.=.
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.
this evening eastern time. I am very much hoping to get your comment for my arti=le which will post as soon as
The questions I would like to ask are:<=p>
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?

EFTA_R1_01826003

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?<=u>
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.
