Thanks. Am pretty sure asu legal will not send anything. Their positio= is that legally they don't have to and this

I had thought of calling him and appearing surpri=ed by the request and asking what sexual misconduct was
referenced as ther= is nothing at uni and then if he referenced this to sort of laugh and say= oh that was dismissed
because it was clearly just a third party trying to=make trouble but it was shown to never have happened etc.
Then I thought maybe best to not do anything because if the= don't have access to the info and they are
interested in a story =f how Ino responds to this stuff they might not have a story.

Exactly what=nancy said. So should I speak to the reporter?
W=at I find most important is that in original complaint it says a complaint=was
lodged at the time with the conference organizers. Then in the final r=port it concludes no such complaint was lodged.
Indicating a lie.
