Lawrence Krauss, a prominent professor within ASU’s School of Earth and Space Exploration, has been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple colleagues and students, according to a BuzzFeed article.

The BuzzFeed report described a pattern of sexual harassment spanning more than 10 years at multiple institutions and organizations. The incidents were alleged by students, faculty and other witnesses.

The University hasn’t received complaints from any ASU students or faculty regarding Krauss, according to an official statement from ASU, but ASU is opening a review based on the story.

Krauss called the BuzzFeed article “slanderous” and “factually incorrect” in an email to The State Press.
