Hanna, meanwhile, does not come to LHU without some controversy.
Four months into his job at Bloomsburg, he was accused of harassing an assistant. However, after investigating, PASSHE said it found that Hanna’s behavior was “clearly inappropriate,” but not “sexual in nature,” the Philadelphia Inquirer reported at the time.
At both Kutztown University and Delaware Valley University, officials approved confidential separation agreements that allowed Hanna to move onward and upward in his career, the paper reported.
The dispute on the 8,900-student campus, in Columbia County about 40 miles southwest of Wilkes-Barre, was brought to light last year by a whistle-blower lawsuit filed by the school’s former business school dean, Jeffrey Krug. Krug claims he was wrongfully fired after helping Hanna’s assistant file her complaint, which the school denies. Jeff Krug is suing Bloomsburg, alleging he was wrongfully fired after helping the president’s assistant report a sexual harassment complaint.
In an interview in 2019, Hanna, 52, has staunchly defended his record, saying he left Kutztown and Delaware Valley because of disputes over leadership style, not misconduct.
