Overview
- Eissa Hashemi, 43, is reported by multiple outlets to teach psychology at The Chicago School in Los Angeles and to live in Agoura Hills.
- The Chicago School’s website lists his name as faculty, and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty reported in 2015 that he studied at the school’s Los Angeles branch.
- Change.org petitions and recent campus rallies have urged that he be fired or deported, with critics saying he has not publicly denounced his mother’s role in 1979.
- The articles report no disciplinary move by the school or U.S. authorities and offer no direct evidence of wrongdoing by Hashemi.
- Current attention comes mainly from right-leaning outlets that highlight activist claims, drawing on public records and past reporting to document his ties to U.S. academia.
