I received this email from the President today (a day after I asked for a copy of this.. see below). I believe I need
to respond to this today. It gives me only one day to negotiate a settlement with the Dean about terms that
require negotiation with the President and Provost. The letter was sent only after the Dean had already phoned
me, presumably under instructions from the President and Provost, without anyone informing me of the
conciliation committee recommendations. I need to say in my response that, having received this today, one day
is not sufficient to negotiate an agreement, especially given that the terms of the agreement apparently are
beyond the purview of the dean alone. Anyway, guidance please re response to this letter? I am sending you
both my proposed conciliation agreement later today.

Dear Dr. Krauss and Dean Kenney:
I am enclosing the report and recommendation of the Conciliation Committee you met with regarding a resolution of
the pending dismissal matter. The Committee reports that after due diligence regarding the matter, the Committee
believes that there may be the possibility of conciliation between the parties. Accordingly, I am extending to you the
opportunity to directly discuss with each other whether there are terms that can be agreed to. Please advise my office
by close of business Wednesday, October 10, 2018 whether an agreement has been reached or not.
In the absence of a conciliated agreement, this matter will move forward with the dismissal process as provided under
Arizona Board of Regents policy 6-201. Should that be necessary, it will be addressed through separate correspondence.

Hi. My understanding is that the Conciliation committee sent its report in on Wednesday of last week
indicating they felt conciliation was possible, and described the requirements of both parties. I was told that
the next step would be negotiations with the Provost, but in any case, the Dean called me today briefly about
this relating what I think was some guidance from the Provost, and I will be speaking to him again later this
week.. Would it be possible to get a copy of the committee's report today so that I can better understand the
current state of conciliation proceedings?
Thanks.
Lawrence
