consider this evidence as part of my appeal is further grounds fo= discrimination.

I agree with you regarding compromise. This is an appeal letter t= the president. It is to explain
to him with the proposed disciplinary act=on is not warranted. Letters that were not solicited by the 00 but =hould
have been seem fair game in this regard.

Tha=ks for forwarding me the content of the investigative report by ASU relate=
to me and my participation, along with Johnny, at Origins events. =C24)I am attaching what you sent to me so that I
may comment on it.:
<=div>
<=div>
<=div>
"Four Witnesses reported during the investigation =hat Respondent once made
a comment in the presence of employees about the =hysical characteristics of Amber Heard, an actress and female
visitor at O=igins Project event. Specifically, during the Johnny Depp event on Februar= 16, 2016, that Respondent, while
getting everyone together to take a pict=re with Johnny Depp, said, "get your hot ass over here" wh=n attempting to get
Amber to join the picture. During this same event, two=witnesses allege that Respondent told Heard, "Your ass looks
great=" Employees also indicate that he talked about how "hot sh= was".
When asked if he ever c=mmented on a female's buttocks in front of
employees, Respondent s=ated, "Whoa, not that I...I can't imagine doing that=E200. Respondent stated, "Generally, I
would say that is not a=good idea" but added that if someone asked his opinion about someo=e, he might respond.
When asked if he ever made comments about Amber Heard=E200s body, Respondent stated, "No. Amber Heard is an
incredib=y attractive woman, and everybody understands that and everybody said it, =nd she is".
Respondent stated that he did not remember telling Heard=that her "ass"
looked good. He stated, "I don0=800t remember saying it, but it's the kind of thing that a close=friend would say to a
close friend in the context of [asking for wardrobe =dvicej, but I certainly don't remember it, but we were very, very
=lose." Respondent stated that making such comments in the workplac= would be outside of normal conduct for him,
but "if it would0=804eve happened, it would have not been at the Origins offices. It would =ave been in the middle of
an event when we were celebrating".4)=A0
Factua= Determination: Four witnesses heard Respondent make the statement.
Althou=h Respondent stated he did not remember saying this, he did acknowledge th=t it is the kind of thing that a close
friend would say. It is more likely=than not that Respondent made the statements. "

Hey Lawrence.
I'm glad to hea= from you although, of course, I am saddened that it is under
these c=rcumstances.

you wish:
I do not recall this or any incident between us as being inappropri=te. I also feel
deeply for anyone who feels as though they have been the s=bject of any unwanted attention in this way, so I hope this
can provide an= clarity on your situation.
=/div>
Lawrence Krauss was a close friend, and as I recall h=s behavior towards me was
gracious and kind during our visits to the Origi=s Project. I don't recall any such comments by him backstage=at the
Origins event, and more generally remember no inappropriate comment= toward me at any time, either in public or
backstage during the events, o= at our home or elsewhere, and we left all of our interactions with both h=m, and his
Origins staff, feeling very well treated. The Origins events we=e a highlight for me.
I hope this lays this issue to rest. =C2*
Due to the public nature of my life and the uniquely public
circumstances=surrounding aspects of my marriage and divorce to my ex-husband (who parti=ipated in the Origins
event mentioned above), I request that this statemen= be used internally by the university only. Thank you.
Best regards
Amber Heard.
