Date: =/b>March 5, 2018 at 11:16:57 AM =ST To: =/b>Carla Mahnke < >, Cynthia Jewett < Cc: =/b>lawrence Krauss < 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 EFTA_R1_01645665 EFTA02512737 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.
