I am currently on a plane. I sent you earlier from the plane an email response to your letter, which I hope you received. Regarding your note below: My earlier remark to you was based on my correspondence with the universities during and after the investigation, and the conclusion I drew from the ANU report, which I quoted for you in my response to your note. The claims made in the allegation which were later demonstrated to be false, or which were then not supported after repeated requests from the University to substantiate the claim, provided evidence that the claim was fabricated (as I knew it must be), and therefore maliciously so. I had been planning on resigning my honorary appointment at ANU before I received the original letter from ANU because my wife had moved to the US several years ago, and I no longer visited the University regularly to work with colleagues there as I did in earlier years. When I received the letter from ANU regarding the complaint, I decided to wait to resign my appointment until the investigation was completed and the complaint was dismissed. After it was, I sent my note of resignation in, and I note that upon its receipt the Dean he suggested I remain on until my appointment expired at the end of this year, but as I had made my decision to resign earlier I felt no need to wait until then. I received a very nice note from the director of the unit I work with (who was made aware of the complaint and its resolution by the Dean) who expressed thanks for my many contributions to the University while there, and my interactions with staff, students, and faculty there. I hope this clarifies your issues. LMK On Dec 11, 2017, at 9:02 AM, Peter Aldhous <111' wrote: Dr. […]
