Hi Nicole,

Is Lawrence able to use ASU funds to travel to Phoenix September 27 or 28?

Thanks,

Jessica

Hi Jessica, yes, Professor Krauss can use funds allocated to him to pay his travel to ASU from Portland and return.

I know you are no longer assigned to Professor Krauss; however, I am guessing he is not familiar with the various changes in the travel system at ASU. So, please assist him with the booking and payment for flights.

Thanks, Pat

OK, thanks.

Lawrence is also wondering if he can have access to his ASU accounts for other research related costs.

Thanks,

Jessica

Lawrence, given you are on paid administrative leave with no ASU responsibilities, the research accounts are not available.

Also, please send me any requests or questions directly as Jessica S is now assigned to the Beyond Center.

Thanks, Pat

I want to reply to this Dean prick.. with the following, but I probably won't.. note he sent a copy to the provost and university attorney.

Patrick, given that you informed me that paid leave was not a disciplinary action, and that I could come on campus and not be hindered from other things that relate to my own work as a result of the administrative leave that was arbitrarily imposed, I don't understand how withholding funds that support my own work is not punitive, and does not violate the claim that the leave is not punitive.

As for Jessica, my contract provides me an executive assistant to support my own work. The letter from the Provost indicated my Origins appointment and my Foundation professorship, which were to be renewed every 5 years, were not being renewed. There is no such deadline for the executive assistant that was contractually provided to me in my offer letter, so I will continue to use Jessica when I need her, unless the college provides me with someone else. I understand that with me being on leave that Jessica's time was not being filled, so I am glad she is assisting with Beyond, but I will assume she will continue to assist me as needed as per my offer contract with the University.
