Public university located in Tempe, Arizona
Arizona State University appears in the Epstein files primarily through its Origins Project director Lawrence Krauss, who received $250,000 from Epstein (part of $2.25 million total from Epstein and associates) and later sought Epstein's advice on handling sexual misconduct allegations.
ASU appears in multiple contexts: documents show the university's Office of Equity & Inclusion (headed by Erin Ellison) investigated sexual misconduct allegations against Krauss but initially found no policy violation; an AI workshop document lists ASU's Origins Project; and Krauss's business correspondence includes ASU contact information. The university conducted investigations into allegations against Krauss that ultimately found he violated sexual harassment policies, leading to his retirement in 2019. Many mentions reference the university's investigation process and its handling of the Krauss misconduct case.
