harassment by Lawrence Krauss

## LMK (cont.)

Dear Mr. Aldhous,
<=r>
Adam Isaak resigned because I had a public spat with his girl=riend, Rebecca
Watson, who had issued a public call for CFI employees to q=it. (That dispute is a whole other story, tangential to your
Krauss piece,=so I will not get into it here.)

Timing is import=nt here. The email from Pat was in March. The dispute with Watson started =n mid-May, after which Adam stopped showing up for work. (He said he was s=ck & then went on vacation, or vice versa). He then then left some tim= in June. If the Krauss matter "pushed [him] over the edge," the= he was tenaciously hanging on to the ledge for a few months.

The email from Pat Beauchamp was in the first person and Pat i=dicated she was speaking for herself. (I found the email exchange last nig=t; I will forward it to you.) Adam had never been shy about expressing his=concerns to me -- he asked for raises, complained about the hosts on the p=dcast he was producing etc. The notion that he and Pat were working togeth=r but that he decided he could not reveal his participation is difficult t= credit.

I will be traveling to my home this even=ng. Plan to reach my home by 7:45, but
if I don't answer right away, p=ease try a bit later. My number is: =a href="tel████████████████"
value="+████████████" target="_blank">████████████.

Dear Mr= Aldhous,

However, I am unavailable tomorrow (Monday) because of prior

comm=tments until approximately 7:45 PM.

Next, you should know that I'm not an em=loyee of CFI nor do I have any authority to speak on behalf of CFI. I40=804om writing to you from my personal email account in part to underscore=that point. I do retain a CFI email address in part as a courtesy to me an= in part because it serves a business purpose (for example, I still receiv= occasional emails addressed to the president of the organization).=/span>

Turning to the s=bstance of your allegations, first you should be aware that I in-house take the lawyer iss=e (a of position sexual harassment I held prior very to=becoming seriously. president This is confirmed and CEO) by I insisted the fact that that =fter the organization I was hired adopt by CFI a as its compr=hensive zero-tolerance harassment policy covering workplace harassment. Mo=eover, during the time I was president and CEO we had three separate state=trainings for the entire staff on sexual harassment issues. In addition, w=ere necessary, we did not hesitate to expend significant resources, includ=ng retaining outside investigators, to conduct serious, detailed inquiries=into harassment claims. One such inquiry cost the organization over $40,00=. Therefore, any suggestion that I do not personally take harassment claim= seriously is amply disconfirmed by my record.

Regarding the alleged incident on t=e 2011 cruise, the first I became aware of it was when Pat Beauchamp, CFI=E2.4>s business manager and the employee responsible for cruise logisti=s, wrote to me in 2013 indicating she objected to inviting Lawrence Krauss=on our upcoming Galapagos cruise. I found this strange, and I responded to=her almost immediately asking the reasons for her objection. She gave two =easons. The first was that Krauss did not pay sufficient attention to the =uests on the 2011 cruise. I had heard this concern from one guest myself; =n the other hand, I also heard from several guests that they thought Kraus='s presentations were excellent and a highlight of the cruise. Acc=rdingly, I did not give this concern much weight.

<=ont>The second reason was that Krauss had allegedly asked a female guest o= the cruise to join him and his partner, apparently for some sort of sexua= activity (I cannot recall whether Krauss was engaged or married or just s=riously involved with his female companion at the time, although they were=clearly romantically involved and seemed very much in love). This is the f=rst I had heard of this proposition. No complaint by the guest or anyone e=se had been made to me at the time of the cruise, although I was on the cr=ise and clearly visible throughout the cruise.

I asked Ms. Beauchamp for contact i=formation for this guest. I did call the guest and she substantially confi=med what Ms. Beauchamp had said. I apologized on behalf of the organizatio=. The guest indicated although she was taken aback by Krauss's pro=osition at the time, she did not want to pursue the matter further. I then=got in contact with Krauss. Krauss denied the allegation. In light of the =uest's reluctance to pursue the matter and Krauss's own de=ial and, importantly, because between the time of the 2011 cruise and the =alapagos cruise we had instituted a policy regarding harassment at any </=pan>CFI event, which covers not just employees, but speakers and attendees= I decided to go ahead with my plan and have Krauss as a speaker on the Ga=apagos cruise. Krauss was fully aware of our harassment policy regarding C=I events because we had had a discussion about it. Therefore, I expected h=m to comply with that policy on the Galapagos cruise. As far as I know he =id, because we received no complaints about his conduct. Nor have we recei=ed any complaints about his conduct at other events.

Let me just take a moment to hi=hlight the 2012 policy, which you can find in

full here,

http://www.centerforinqui=y.net/blogs/entry/cfis_new_policy_on_hostile_conduct_harassment<=br>_at_conferences/=span class="m_142987154871091546m_-6189807211976031442m_-277658877943275=76Apple-converted-space"> along with the announcement I made e=plaining the rationale for the policy. This policy was, certainly at its t=me, arguably the strongest any nonprofit organization had regarding conduc= at its events. Again, this policy shows that any

## LMK (cont.)

suggestion that CFI, as =n organization, or that I personally took a lax attitude regarding harassm=nt is completely without factual foundation.

In your email you mentioned that one st=ffer resigned after I invited Krauss on the Galapagos cruise. I'm =ot aware of any staffer resigning because of that. If you give me a name l=could comment on the reasons for the staffer leaving. Ms. Beauchamp remain=d an employee of CFI (and went on the Galapagos cruise with Krauss).

You mentioned a=so the comments that were made to me in March 2012 by Melody Hensley. Let =e give you the background for that. CFI was holding an event prior to the =012 Reason Rally in DC. Richard Dawkins, Jessica Alquist, Jamie Raskin, an= Lawrence Krauss were scheduled to speak at the event. Melody Hensley was =eavily involved in the planning for the event and in fact was tapped to ma=e introductions for the speakers, including Krauss. (At the time she was i= charge of the DC local branch.) During the planning for the event she gav= no indication whatsoever that she had any hesitation about introducing or=dealing with Krauss. (I will forward you some email correspondence confirm=ng this.)

As I recall, Krauss's sched=le resulted in his planned arrival being a little later than the others. A= it turned out, he was even further delayed. At some point when it became =tear that Krauss was going to be late, Hensley turned to me and said, 4,=B04,I know why Krauss isn't coming; he's embarrassed to s=e me." I asked Hensley what she meant by this. She said Krauss had=made a pass at her several years earlier and she had rebuffed him. I asked=for some details. She said she was in a hotel room with him (I can*=99t recall whether she said it was Krauss's hotel room, but I thin= it was), and that Krauss tried to kiss her. She pushed him away and said =he wasn't interested. I asked if Krauss persisted; she said he did=not. Thinking out loud, I believe I said something to the effect of 40=98well, if you want to make a complaint you probably can, although l0=99m not sure our policy at that time would cover that.' Ms. Hensle= said she was not interested in making a formal complaint.</=>

Ms. Hensley's sta=ement that I "responded to her with silence" is absolutely=false and I categorically and unqualifiedly deny it. We talked about her c=ncern, as indicated. Ms. Hensley's recall must be failing her.

Given the pas=age of time (six years), the fact that Hensley did not want to pursue the =atter, the fact that Krauss desisted when Hensley indicated she wasn4k=99t interested, the fact that Hensley didn't even seem very bother=d by the incident (as indicated, she had expressed no hesitation in zero-tolerance seeing=Krauss), policy and covering the fact empl=yees that we had themselves no policy was covering not implemented conduct by until nonemploye=s 2007, I believe back -- in I 2006 was just (in fact, hi=ed CFI's as the attorney in July 2006), I decided not to do any further about th=s particular incident. However, the incident, along with observations I he=rd at the Women in Secularism conference which we held later in the spring=of 2012 (observations which did n=t mention Krauss, but rather som= speakers at non-CFI events), was a factor in my thinking about the need f=r a policy covering conduct by invited speakers and guests at CFI conferen=es.

Ms. H=nsley made no other complaint to me about Krauss, nor did she ever express=to me her belief that we should not invite Krauss to events.=/p>

In closing, let me scat= that any accusations stating that I neglected to take harassment complain=s seriously are false. Furthermore, I would regard them as a malicious att=ck on my character and my professional reputation. Forwarded message

Mr. Lindsay=

I'm a reporter for Buz=Feed News who has been investigating sexual misconduct allegations against=Lawrence Krauss.

The s=ory concerns Krauss's actions towards students while a professor o= physics at Case Western Reserve University, as well as his conduct in non=academic settings as a prominent figure in the skeptics movement. I am rep=rting this story along with two of my colleagues on the science desk, Azee= Ghorayshi and Virginia Hughes.

Our story is about several allegations of sexual misconduct dating from=2006 to 2016. Our reporting also goes into how the various institutions Kr=uss has been affiliated with — Case Western, Arizona State Univers=ty, the Australian National University, the New College of the Humanities =nd the Center for Inquiry, for which you formerly served as president .=804o have handled complaints and concerns about his behavior during this =ime.

Our story is corroborat=d by emails, university documents, official complaints, testimony from vic=ims and witnesses, and interviews with more than two dozen of KraussQ=99s current and former academic colleagues, students, and peers in the ske=tics movement.

I am writing t= you now because you are personally named in the story, and because you ha= executive responsibility for CH's actions during the time of som= of the alleged incidents.

l=wanted to offer you the opportunity to comment and/or respond to the main =acts we plan to publish regarding your involvement as the former head of C=1 during this time.

<https://web.archive.org/web/20100919014301/http://centerf=rinquiry.net/cruise2011/reservations> several
thousand dollars to join a cul=ural tour of the Greek islands, featuring lectures from scientists and wri=ers, including
Krauss.
*
Krauss allegedly propositioned=a female cruise-goer, who rejected an
invitation to join him and his femal= companion for sex in their cabin.
*
No complaint was m=de, but the incident was reported to a CFI staffer
at the time.
*
CFI’s leadership continued to embrace Krauss, But at least two staffers
were sufficiently concer=ed about reports of Krauss’s behavior that they urged you not to i=vite him on a 2014 cruise
<http://action.centerforinquiry.net/si=e/MessageViewer?em_id=49328.0> of the Galápagos Islands.
*
In June 2013, after you rejected their advice and invited him on=the
cruise, one of those staffers resigned.
*
At a conf=rence in March 2012, another woman, who at that point was
also an employee=of CFI, told you about an incident in 2006 in which Krauss forcibly kissed=and groped her in a hotel
room. According to this woman, after she told yo= about this in person, you responded to her with silence.
*
The woman later told two other employees in CFI’s management ab=ut
the incident, and expressed her discomfort at having Krauss continue to=speak at events.
*

Krauss as a spe=ker at its events.

Again, if you wish to comment on or clarify any of these points,

please=get in touch with us as soon as possible. If I do not respond immediately =t is because I am on another call, so please leave the best phone number t= reach you.
