Today the University closed their employment review process against me, and contemporaneously I
announced my intention to retire from my position as Professor in the School of Earth and Space Exploration
and the Physics Department at ASU, at the end of this academic year, May 16, 2019. I feel vindicated that
the University has accepted my retirement request and agreed to settle the employment process with no
admission of wrongdoing. It is worth stressing that following the University Investigation it remains true
that none of my students, faculty colleagues, postdoctoral research associates, or participants in the Origins
events I led over the the past decade at ASU has issued any complaints to the University regarding my
behavior. The Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences had recommended my dismissal on July 31
following the completion of investigations by the Office of Equity and Inclusion. I then appealed the Dean's
decision and I presented new evidence and information that I felt undermined the credibility of the claims,
and a number of the claimants. Subsequent to that the Dean and I communicated regarding Conciliation. I
look forward to working hard to continue my writing, research, and public outreach activities after retiring
from ASU.
