Thanks. Am pretty sure asu legal will not send anything. =heir position is that legally they don't have to
and this would =ndercut that.
I had thought of calling him and appearing surprised by the =equest and asking what sexual misconduct
was referenced as there is =othing at uni and then if he referenced this to sort of laugh and say, =h that was dismissed
because it was clearly just a third party trying =o make trouble but it was shown to never have happened etc. =nbsp;
Then I =hought maybe best to not do anything because if they don't have =ccess to the info and they are
interested in a story of how Ino =esponds to this stuff they might not have a story.

have someone else publish the letter. = there are no perfect answers. . =ou sound so wounded that unless you can

What I find most important is that in =riginal complaint it says a complaint was
lodged at the time with the =onference organizers. Then in the final report it concludes no such =omplaint was lodged.
