Box 871404, Begin forwarded message: From: David William Foster Subject: RE: From the Grievance Clearinghouse Committee Date: December 3, 2018 at 1:57:40 PM PST To: Lawrence Krauss >, Pamela Hoyle <a Cc: Carla van de Sande < >, Kate Baker Dear Prof. Lawrence: While many of the issues you have raised might, in another context, be of central concern to CAFT, in this case there is an interposed memorandum of agreement you signed with the university. Your issues are matters of disagreement with the administration over the terms of the agreement. The interpretation of the agreement is not within the purview of CAFT. Moreover, the agreement explicitly states that allegations of breaches of the agreement—which it seems is what you are alleging—are matters to be determined by Arizona law. It seems you and your lawyers must decide how to proceed with regard to such interpretations. We cannot.

I am wondering whether you, or your assistant, or perhaps the counsel for the Committee, could provide an explanation of what are the specific roles and purview of the grievance committees? Could you provide a description or a link to a description of what is within your jurisdiction to consider and what is not? For example, what group would deal with possible breach of contract issues between the University and faculty members? Is there a group within the University that reviews or monitors governance issues associated with access by faculty to public events or university services on campus? Thanks for your attention to this request. Lawrence Krauss Lawrence M. Krauss Professor School of Earth & Space Exploration and Physics Department Arizona State University, M.
