Dr. Ed Hasan Files Retaliation Complaint After Harassment Report

Dr. Ed Hasan, a former board member of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee and Georgetown University adjunct lecturer, filed a formal complaint on April 22 outlining concerns about the organization’s internal handling of allegations. He also filed a formal derivative demand that day seeking corrective action, including the removal of board leadership.

Fox News reported that Hasan shared these concerns with the DC attorney general’s office, raising issues about harassment and governance failures while expecting an independent investigation. The ADC conducted an internal review of the concerns raised by Hasan. Within days after he raised these concerns, the ADC removed Hasan from his board position.

Hasan described the removal as retaliation and stated that the board investigated the matter internally despite his objections that it should be handled by an independent third party, creating a conflict of interest. Hasan stated that meaningful change will require the resignation of the current board and the creation of a community-driven interim transitional board to rebuild trust and safety.
