Next, you should know that I'm not an em=loyee of CFI nor do I have any authority to speak on behalf of CFI. I40=804om writing to you from my personal email account in part to underscore=that point. I do retain a CFI email address in part as a courtesy to me an= in part because it serves a business purpose (for example, I still receiv= occasional emails addressed to the president of the organization).=/span> Turning to the s=bstance of your allegations, first you should be aware that I take the iss=e of sexual harassment very seriously. This is confirmed by the fact that =fter I was hired by CFI as its in- house lawyer (a position I held prior to=becoming president and CEO) I insisted that the organization adopt a compr=hensive zero-tolerance harassment policy covering workplace harassment. Mo=eover, during the time I was president and CEO we had three separate state=trainings for the entire staff on sexual harassment issues. In addition, w=ere necessary, we did not hesitate to expend significant resources, includ=ng retaining outside investigators, to conduct serious, detailed inquiries=into harassment claims. One such inquiry cost the organization over $40,00=. Therefore, any suggestion that I do not personally take harassment claim= seriously is amply disconfirmed by my record. Regarding the alleged incident on t=e 2011 cruise, the first I became aware of it was when Pat Beauchamp, CFI=E2.4>s business manager and the employee responsible for cruise logisti=s, wrote to me in 2013 indicating she objected to inviting Lawrence Krauss=on our upcoming Galapagos cruise. I found this strange, and I responded to=her almost immediately asking the reasons for her objection. She gave two =easons. The first was that Krauss did not pay sufficient attention to the =uests on the 2011 cruise. I had heard this concern from one guest myself; =n the other hand, I also heard from several guests that they thought Kraus='s presentations were excellent and a highlight of the cruise. Acc=rdingly, I did not give this concern much weight. <=ont>The second reason was that Krauss had allegedly asked a female guest o= the cruise to join him and his partner, apparently for some sort of sexua= activity (I cannot recall whether Krauss was engaged or married or just s=riously involved with his female companion at the time, although they were=clearly romantically involved and seemed very much in love). This is the f=rst I had heard of this proposition. No complaint by the guest or anyone e=se had been made to me at the time of the cruise, although I was on the cr=ise and clearly visible throughout the cruise. I asked Ms. Beauchamp for contact i=formation for this guest. I did call the guest and she substantially confi=med what Ms. Beauchamp had said. I apologized on behalf of the organizatio=. The guest indicated although she was taken aback by Krauss's pro=osition at the time, she did not want to pursue the matter further. I then=got in contact with Krauss. Krauss denied the allegation. In light of the =uest's reluctance to pursue the matter and Krauss's own de=ial and, importantly, because between the time of the 2011 cruise and the =alapagos cruise we had instituted a policy regarding harassment at any </=pan>CFI event, which covers not just employees, but speakers and attendees= I decided to go ahead with my plan and have Krauss as a speaker on the Ga=apagos cruise. Krauss was fully aware of our harassment policy regarding C=I events because we had had a discussion about it. Therefore, I expected h=m to comply with that policy on the Galapagos cruise. As far as I know he =id, because we received no complaints about his conduct. Nor have we recei=ed any complaints about his conduct at other events. Let me just take a moment to hi=hlight the 2012 policy, which you can find in full here, http://www.centerforinqui=y.net/blogs/entry/cfis_new_policy_on_hostile_conduct_harassment<=br>_at_conferences/ =span class="m_142987154871091546m_-6189807211976031442m_-277658877943275=76Apple-converted-space"> along with the announcement I made e=plaining the rationale for the policy. This policy was, certainly at its t=me, arguably the strongest any nonprofit organization had regarding conduc= at its events. Again, this policy shows that any 8 EFTA_R1_01655273 EFTA02519214 suggestion that CFI, as =n organization, or that I personally took a lax attitude regarding harassm=nt is completely without factual foundation. In your email you mentioned that one st=ffer resigned after I invited Krauss on the Galapagos cruise. I'm =ot aware of any staffer resigning because of that. If you give me a name l=could comment on the reasons for the staffer leaving. Ms. Beauchamp remain=d an employee of CFI (and went on the Galapagos cruise with Krauss). You mentioned a=so the comments that were made to me in March 2012 by Melody Hensley. Let =e give you the background for that. CFI was holding an event prior to the =012 Reason Rally in DC. Richard Dawkins, Jessica Alquist, Jamie Raskin, an= Lawrence Krauss were scheduled to speak at the event. Melody Hensley was =eavily involved in the planning for the event and in fact was tapped to ma=e introductions for the speakers, including Krauss. (At the time she was i= charge of the DC local branch.) During the planning for the event she gav= no indication whatsoever that she had any hesitation about introducing or=dealing with Krauss. (I will forward you some email correspondence confirm=ng this.) As I recall, Krauss's sched=le resulted in his planned arrival being a little later than the others. A= it turned out, he was even further delayed. At some point when it became =tear that Krauss was going to be late, Hensley turned to me and said, 4,=B04,I know why Krauss isn't coming; he's embarrassed to s=e me." I asked Hensley what she meant by this. She said Krauss had=made a pass at her several years earlier and she had rebuffed him. I asked=for some details. She said she was in a hotel room with him (I can*=99t recall whether she said it was Krauss's hotel room, but I thin= it was), and that Krauss tried to kiss her. She pushed him away and said =he wasn't interested. I asked if Krauss persisted; she said he did=not. Thinking out loud, I believe I said something to the effect of 40=98well, if you want to make a complaint you probably can, although l0=99m not sure our policy at that time would cover that.' Ms. Hensle= said she was not interested in making a formal complaint.</=> Ms. Hensley's sta=ement that I "responded to her with silence" is absolutely=false and I categorically and unqualifiedly deny it. We talked about her c=ncern, as indicated. Ms. Hensley's recall must be failing her. Given the pas=age of time (six years), the fact that Hensley did not want to pursue the =atter, the fact that Krauss desisted when Hensley indicated she wasn4k=99t interested, the fact that Hensley didn't even seem very bother=d by the incident (as indicated, she had expressed no hesitation in seeing=Krauss), and the fact that we had no policy covering conduct by nonemploye=s back in 2006 (in fact, CFI's zero- tolerance policy covering empl=yees themselves was not implemented until 2007, I believe -- I was just hi=ed as the attorney in July 2006), I decided not to do any further about th=s particular incident. However, the incident, along with observations I he=rd at the Women in Secularism conference which we held later in the spring=of 2012 (observations which did n=t mention Krauss, but rather som= speakers at non-CFI events), was a factor in my thinking about the need f=r a policy covering conduct by invited speakers and guests at CFI conferen=es. Ms. H=nsley made no other complaint to me about Krauss, nor did she ever express=to me her belief that we should not invite Krauss to events.=/p> In closing, let me scat= that any accusations stating that I neglected to take harassment complain=s seriously are false. Furthermore, I would regard them as a malicious att=ck on my character and my professional reputation.

CFI's leadership continued to embrace Krauss, But at least two staffers were sufficiently concer=ed about reports of Krauss's behavior that they urged you not to i=vite him on a 2014 cruise <http://action.centerforinquiry.net/si=e/MessageViewer?em_id=49328.0> of the Galapagos Islands. In June 2013, after you rejected their advice and invited him on=the cruise, one of those staffers resigned. At a conf=rence in March 2012, another woman, who at that point was also an employee=of CFI, told you about an incident in 2006 in which Krauss forcibly kissed=and groped her in a hotel room. According to this woman, after she told yo= about this in person, you responded to her with silence. The woman later told two other employees in CFI's management ab=ut the incident, and expressed her discomfort at having Krauss continue to=speak at events. • <roan style="font-family:Arial ;font-size:11 ptfont-style:normal;font- varia=t-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal=font-weight:400;text- decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:p=e-wrap;background-color:transparent">CFI continued to book Krauss as a spe=ker at its events. Again, if you wish to comment on or clarify any of these points, please=get in touch with us as soon as possible. If I do not respond immediately =t is because I am on another call, so please leave the best phone number t= reach you.
