Summary
This document outlines a series of sexual harassment allegations and incidents involving Dr. Lawrence Krauss (referred to as 'you'). It details a formal investigation at Case Western Reserve University in 2008 that resulted in restrictions on his access to campus, followed by subsequent allegations of inappropriate behavior at atheist conventions and on a CFI cruise between 2008 and 2011. The document appears to be an investigative summary produced by the House Oversight Committee.
