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

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,
Carla

Hi=Dr. Krauss,

During our phone =onversation on August 25th I informed you of my =inding, that there was no violation of university policy. I had not yet =ompleted my summary of the inquiry in a memorandum. My memorandum =oncludes the inquiry/investigative process.

I hope this helps to =larify our interaction and the other remaining steps outlined in P20 =rocedures:https://provost.asu.edu/policies/procedures/p20.

Glad to discuss further if =eeded.
