Legal Docket by CourtListener: Shao v. Hayden (1:21-cv-00576) - Consolidated
Picture
According to available court documents, Dr. Dongfang Shao filed a civil lawsuit against the Library of Congress on August 28, 2020, after exhausting all administrative remedies within the legislative branch.  Dr. Shao has served as Chief of the Asia Division in the Library of Congress since April 2012, which is a Senior-Level executive poisiton.  Dr. Shao was born in China and is a citizen of the United States. 

According to Asian Fortune News, Dr. Shao received his undergraduate and graduate degrees in history from Beijing Normal University. He earned his doctorate in history from the University of Hawaii at Manoa.  He taught in the Chinese Studies Department of the National University of Singapore for five years.  Subsequently, he joined the faculty of Stanford University as a visiting assistant professor in the Department of Asian Languages in 1999.  Four years later, Dr. Shao was appointed head of Stanford’s East Asia Library, the university’s primary East Asian-language collection in the social sciences and humanities for all historical periods.  During his tenure, he increased the library’s international stature, reorganized and doubled its staff and garnered a substantial increase in its base budget. In 2007, he earned a master’s degree in library and information science from San Jose State University with a focus on electronic scholarly resources.

Dr. Shao alleges in his complaint that the Library of Congress, through its management personnel, discriminated against him by depriving him of his proper performance evaluation and by various acts of offensive and objectionable conduct which constituted harassment which aggregated together created and maintained a hostile work environment which persists, on the basis of Dr. Shao's national origin [China] and his race [Asian].
