Subject: Re: Public Records Request
Thanks. Am pretty sure asu legal will not s=nd anything. Their position is that legally they don't have to and t=is would
undercut that.
I had thought of calling h=m and appearing surprised by the request and asking what sexual misconduct w=s referenced
as there is nothing at uni and then if he referenced this to s=rt of laugh and say, oh that was dismissed because it was
clearly just a th=rd party trying to make trouble but it was shown to never have happened etc=
Then I thought maybe best to not do anythi=g because if they don't have access to the info and they are intere=ted in a
story of how Ino responds to this stuff they might not have a stor=.

What I find most important is that in=original complaint it says a complaint was lodged at the time with
the conf=rence organizers. Then in the final report it concludes no such complaint w=s lodged. Indicating a lie.
