However, Cynthia Jewett, the university's senior associate general counsel, noted that two individuals, neither affiliated with the university, had complained about you.

You have led that effort ever since. • Thanks to best-selling books like The Physics of Star Trek and A Universe From Nothing, frequent essays in publications including the New Yorker and the New York Times, and the documentary you made with biologist Richard Dawkins, called The Unbelievers, you are celebrated as one of America's leading public intellectuals. • You served on the science policy committee for Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign and are a vocal critic of President Donald Trump. • You also make regular public appearances across the world, often at gatherings of skeptics and atheists. • At CSICon in Las Vegas in October, a few dozen fans paid $500 per head to attend a VIP luncheon with you and Dawkins. • Many more lined up to get you to sign their copy of your latest book, The Greatest Story Ever Told — So Far. • Online, people can buy T-shirts emblazoned "Lawrence Krauss for President." • In talks and interviews, you have argued that our universe arose without divine intervention, that religion drives xenophobia, and that our brains are hardwired to believe. • You have stated that science provides answers to many of life's biggest questions, and can even fix great societal injustices. • Earlier this year, at a Q&A event to promote your new book, the conversation came around to the dearth of women and minorities
