Thanks. Am pretty sure asu legal will not send anything. =heir position is that legally they don't have to and this would =ndercut that.

I had thought of calling him and appearing surprised by the =equest and asking what sexual misconduct was referenced as there is =othing at uni and then if he referenced this to sort of laugh and say, =h that was dismissed because it was clearly just a third party trying =o make trouble but it was shown to never have happened etc. =nbsp;

Then I =hought maybe best to not do anything because if they don't have =ccess to the info and they are interested in a story of how Ino =esponds to this stuff they might not have a story.

I think the reporter should have the ANU =oc . with a cover letter. . if ASU legal will =end it that would be the best. =owever , there is s chavnce that the reporter will quote and take =ut of context. . My concern is that if you speak even off the =ecord to the reporter that it will raise the bar. . 1 =ou can get out in front and have someone else publish the letter. = there are no perfect answers. . =ou sound so wounded that unless you can truly keep it under control = a phone conversation with the reporter might throw more oil on =he non fire. :)/ do you have a lawyer or publiscist. =r someone at the universtiy that could have the off the record?

Exactly what =ancy said. So should I speak to the reporter?

What I find most important is that in =riginal complaint it says a complaint was
lodged at the time with the =onference organizers. Then in the final report it concludes no such =omplaint was lodged.
Indicating a lie.
