Event Description

Lawrence Krauss is named in a BuzzFeed News inquiry concerning allegations of sexual harassment. Krauss denies the allegations in his response draft, characterizing them as false and/or distorted, and asserts that he treats people with respect, works to mentor students and colleagues, and does not sexually harass people. He claims his continued employment and standing at universities and organizations with strict harassment policies confirms the falsity of the allegations.

Quoted Evidence

“It is hard to know how to respond to a list of false and/or distorted allegations, along with misleading statements on your part. I treat people I interact with with respect, and I work hard to support and mentor students, colleagues, and members of the general public. I do not sexually harass people.”
