Email Chain Regarding Lawrence Krauss Title IX Investigation at Arizona State University (File 032206)
Email correspondence from August 2017 discussing an ongoing Title IX investigation into Lawrence Krauss at Arizona State University involving an allegation of inappropriate touching at an international event, with consultation from legal expert Kenneth Starr.
Summary
This email chain from August 24, 2017 documents a Title IX investigation initiated against Lawrence Krauss, a physics professor at Arizona State University, following a third-party complaint alleging inappropriate touching of a person at a bar in another country after a lecture event. Kenneth Starr is consulted for legal advice regarding the investigation procedures, jurisdiction questions, and whether Krauss should bring a lawyer or record his meeting with the Title IX investigator. Starr emphasizes that the response depends on the victim's student status, and the exchange reflects concerns about the investigative process and its implications for Krauss's personnel file.

They asked him to sign a paper saying he receivednotice of the investigation, any statments made could not be used in a court to incriminate him. and if he didntsign or agree, he was open to disciplinary action. He was concerced that an investigation will now always bepart of his file. . he was going to meet the title nine woman today. does he bring a lawyer. does he record themeeting, does he say, he will say nothing but is wiling to listen ? not a good environment nowadays. how areyou? > > On Thu, Aug 24, 2017 at 5:56 AM, Starr, Ken wrote: > > No. Emphatically not if the victim is not astudent.
