Good Afternoon Dr. =rauss,

Our expectation for the =eetings is that you will provide a response to each question that is =osed to the best of your ability. If you wish to supplement your =esponse(s), you are certainly permitted to do so within a reasonable =imeframe following the meeting. If Erin or I have additional questions =or you, following the receipt of any supplemental responses or =nformation, we will schedule a follow-up meeting with you.

You are welcome to bring a =upport person to the meetings with you. However, this individual cannot =e someone who may also serve as a witness in our process and they will =ot be permitted to participate in the meeting.

I look forward to meeting =ith you again next week.

All the best,
Carla

Dear Erin and Carla:

Following =n Carla's expectation, as described below, for our meeting on =uesday, I would like to clarify all of our expectations for the =rocedure of each of the meetings on Tuesday. I have expected =hat these meetings would be primarily informational meetings, in the =ense that you would provide me details and context, and that I can ask =uestions to help me further understand these details, their context, =nd their relationship to ASU policies. There are some cases where = may be able to provide some immediate responses, but my expectation is =hat in general I will be surprised, and potentially upset by some of =he material you present to me, and I am concerned about framing an =dequate response under those conditions. Thus, I think it =ould be more useful, and fair, for this first meeting to be primarily =n opportunity for me to receive information and feedback, and then to =ave a subsequent meeting at which I will have the opportunity to =rovide useful information to you in response. Without specifics =t this time, it is hard for me to clearly determine what will be =ecessary, so this seems a reasonable approach to me. Does this =ound reasonable to each of you?

Also, I =anted to confirm that I have the option to bring along a support person =o the meeting if I think it will be helpful. Is that acceptable =o each of you?

Thanks for your consideration of these =ssues.

Lawrence

Hi =r. Krauss,

In terms of my investigation, the information =elow is what I am planning to cover during our in-person meeting. =uring our in-person meeting I will share with you the context of this =nformation, have some questions for you, and of course will provide you =ith an opportunity to respond or provide any new information. If after =ur in-person meeting you have additional questions, or would like to =rovide other information, you are welcome to do so.

I will keep you informed of the status of the =nvestigation and as I near the conclusion you will have a final =pportunity to respond.

Thanks!

Thanks for this. I should perhaps have been =learer about my original question though.

Hi =r. Krauss,

I wanted to make sure = addressed the other portion of your question below.

I look forward to =eeting with you again to discuss this further.

I know that you are also working with Erin =llison as she oversees a separate investigation from our office.
