A federal court jury in August found that a dean who helped an employee file a sexual harassment complaint against Bashar Hanna was wrongfully terminated.
The head of the faculty union for the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education has called on Commonwealth University President Bashar Hanna to resign or be fired after a jury found a dean who helped an employee file a sexual harassment complaint against the president was wrongfully terminated.
The state system, which governs public colleges and universities such as Commonwealth, said in a statement that the Pa. Office of Attorney General, representing the university and PASSHE, “has filed post-trial motions in anticipation of filing an appeal.” At Bloomsburg, where Hanna became president in 2017, his executive assistant alleged that Hanna engaged in inappropriate and unwanted behavior — calling her “dear,” rubbing her shoulder and kissing her on the forehead behind his closed office door. Hanna also was accused of sliding the tip of his toe against her shin. She told PASSHE investigators she started to sit out of his reach.
When the jury verdict was announced in favor of Krug, his lawyer, Barry Dyller, said Krug was “thrilled.”
