If you wish to supplement your =esponse(s), you are certainly permitted to do so within a reasonable =imeframe following the meeting. If Erin or I have additional questions =or you, following the receipt of any supplemental responses or =nformation, we will schedule a follow-up meeting with you. You are welcome to bring a =upport person to the meetings with you. However, this individual cannot =e someone who may also serve as a witness in our process and they will =ot be permitted to participate in the meeting. I look forward to meeting =ith you again next week. All the best, Carla EFTA_R1_01589517 EFTA02476139 Carla Mahnke, Ed.D.

I have expected =hat these meetings would be primarily informational meetings, in the =ense that you would provide me details and context, and that I can ask =uestions to help me further understand these details, their context, =nd their relationship to ASU policies. There are some cases where = may be able to provide some immediate responses, but my expectation is =hat in general I will be surprised, and potentially upset by some of =he material you present to me, and I am concerned about framing an =dequate response under those conditions. Thus, I think it =ould be more useful, and fair, for this first meeting to be primarily =n opportunity for me to receive information and feedback, and then to =ave a subsequent meeting at which I will have the opportunity to =rovide useful information to you in response. Without specifics =t this time, it is hard for me to clearly determine what will be =ecessary, so this seems a reasonable approach to me. Does this =ound reasonable to each of you? Also, I =anted to confirm that I have the option to bring along a support person =o the meeting if I think it will be helpful. Is that acceptable =o each of you?
