Ah. But I think it may be brilliant. If they don't respond, I win. If they do, it goes to the
disparagement clause and they will be the first to show that voluntary release of potentially
disparaging facts is acceptable. :)

I would take out the bolded language—it will only prompt them to respond, and I worry it is
spiking the football a little too much.

Proposed Press statement:
Today the University closed their pending employment review process against me, and
contemporaneously I announced my intention to retire from my position as Professor in the
School of Earth and Space Exploration and the Physics Department at ASU, at the end of this
academic year, May 16, 2019. I feel vindicated that the University has accepted my
retirement request and agreed to settle the employment process with no admission of
wrongdoing. It is worth stressing that following the University Investigation it remains true
that none of my students, faculty colleagues, postdoctoral research associates, or participants
in the Origins events I led over the the past decade at ASU has issued any complaints to the
University regarding my behavior. The Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences had
recommended my dismissal on July 31 following the completion of investigations by the
Office of Equity and Inclusion. Subsequent to that in my appeal I presented new
evidence and information that undermined the credibility of the claims, and a number
of the claimants. I do not know if this factored into the University's decision to settle
this matter with no admission of wrongdoing but I am gratified by this result. I look
forward to continuing my writing, research, and public outreach activities elsewhere after
retiring from ASU.
