Request for Immediate Reevaluation of Adjunct Faculty Appointment

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am requesting an immediate reevaluation of the employment of Mr. Eissa Hashemi, Adjunct Faculty at The Chicago School (Los Angeles campus).

Publicly available records identify Mr. Hashemi as the son of Masoumeh Ebtekar, a senior Islamic Republic official and a documented participant in the 1979–1981 U.S. Embassy hostage crisis, during which American diplomats were held captive for 444 days. Given Ms. Ebtekar’s continued leadership role within a regime responsible for widespread human rights abuses, this association presents a serious reputational and ethical concern for an American academic institution committed to democratic values and ethical leadership.

I respectfully request clarification on whether this employment is being reviewed and how the School ensures faculty appointments align with its stated mission and public trust.

Sincerely,
[your name]”
