I =ot a call from the reporter, who was the same one who interviewed me =icely over the doomsday clock.. so he is simply doing a story.. I =on't think he has an agenda. His deadline is now an hour, =ccording to his editors. and I told him I would try to get him =omething.. Here is my proposed statement.. worked through once =ith one advisor.. They want me to comment on the buzzfeed story =nd its allegations, and on ASU's statement.. So here is =hat I am sending them.. quick comment?

I will be making a longer =tatement about the slanderous and factually incorrect story in due course. I realize that some ASU =tudents may be shocked and dismayed and interested in some comment from me at this =ime. I appreciate the supportive statement from ASU and also the professional procedures that ASU applies to these issues. =nbsp;l can assure students that I have always worked hard throughout my career, inside and outside the University, to =uild and maintain an atmosphere of trust and respect in all of my =nteractions, and to create an environment where open communication is encouraged. I =lso encourage students and members of the general public to think critically and to use evidence as the basis of =aking decisions and policies. As many are already aware, Buzzfeed is not a reliable news source. Unsubstantiated allegations from =uch a source should be viewed skeptically.

This is the student paper at ASU. I am assuming I should give =o statement but just checking for your advice. (See last proposal, =hich is growing on me )

Asu has already made a statement already pointing out that =here have been no complaints of sexual harassment against me by faculty =taff or students at ASU.

I could reiterate that and add =hat I have never been accused or found in violation of sexual =arassment codes at any institution I have been affiliated =ith.

Or = could just reiterate ASU's statement and say something =ositive like I am very proud to be working at ASU, it is the most =xciting university i have been affiliated with and thrilled to lead the =antastic team at origins project, one of the most exciting programs st =ny university in the world, and be working with great colleagues and =tudents in physics and SESE.

I =m leaning toward the latter.
