Mr. Dillon:
We will postpone Dr. Krauss' meeting with the Office of Equity and Inclusion (OEI) by one week. He must be available to
meet on Wednesday, April 18, 2018 (9:30 AM — 12:30 PM) or Thursday, April 19, 2018 (9:30 AM - 12:30 PM). Let me
know which day works best. Please note that we already postponed this meeting once before at Dr. Krauss' request. We
will not postpone the meeting a third time.
Please be advised that there is no right for an employee to be represented by an attorney during an interview of this
nature. However, OEI has agreed to permit Dr. Krauss to have a "support person" present. The support person has no
participatory role during the interview. If the support person cannot abide by that condition, the person will be required
to exit the interview and wait in the reception area.
Regards,
Erin R. Ellison, ID.

Thank you for the prompt response, Ms. Mahnke. The meeting is indeed canceled, and I am afraid I will not
budge on that, so you should plan accordingly. I wanted to let you know that today in order to minimize the
inconvenience to you. But I'm happy to work with you on another date later this month.
It would be great if we could avoid getting off on an unnecessarily adversarial foot, and I am trying to be polite
while still making our position clear. You cannot, consistent with either your own policies or the due process
clause, force Professor Krauss to have a meeting that he is not prepared to have. Rather than arguing about
that over email and inevitably escalating this to the General Counsel's office, I think our time would better
spent finding a new date later this month once I've had a chance to get up to speed. This is not a "no," by any
means. It is simply a "not yet."
Thanks, and have a nice weekend.
Justin

Good Afternoon Dr. Krauss and Mr. Dillon,
I am acknowledging receipt of the below email and will discuss with the OEI Director when she returns to the
office on Monday. At this point, OEI does not consider the appointment to be cancelled. I will provide a
further response on Monday.

Ms. Mahnke and Ms. Ellison,
My name is Justin Dillon. Professor Krauss has hired me to serve as his advisor in this case. I understand from him that
you all have a meeting scheduled for Tuesday during which you are going to ask him about some of the allegations in the
case. I am afraid we are going to need to reschedule that for a later date, so that I have time to get up to speed on the
case and properly prepare Professor Krauss for this meeting. (I have been out of town all week for my kids' spring
break.) I am sorry for any inconvenience, and I will be in touch soon to find a new date.
Thanks very much, and have a nice weekend.
