Keith’s note: FYI I called two people at NASA HQ four times yesterday with detailed information, internal memos etc. about this harassment issue No answer. So I sat on it until I could confirm. I have confirmed them – but not from NASA PAO. Today they sent out this media response to others – but not to me. (see “NASA Employee Harassment Incidents“). You can expect that NASA will do nothing to inform its employees about this for days – if at all. There’s nothing online or in memos about this. It happened several days ago. At a time when the entire extended NASA civil servant, contractor, and scientific workforce is wondering if they will have a job tomorrow, having management that keeps them in the dark about potential threats is simply inexcusable. Everyone who works at NASA is smart. Really smart. They want facts as soon as they can get them – at least that is what they tell me. NASA HQ is not leveling with their workforce. And that is inexcusable.

Is there any information regarding the nature of the harassment? Who was doing it, and what the NASA personnel were accused of?
The last thing I am going to do is release victim information. Think before you ask questions.
