The turmoil-ridden police Civilian Complaint Review Board is losing its executive director.
Mina Malik, who charged CCRB Chairman Richard Emery in April with making inappropriate comments and undermining her authority, announced Friday that she is quitting to take a post at Harvard.
“It has been an honor to serve the city during his [Mayor de Blasio’s] tenure. I am deeply grateful to the devoted staff for their tremendous spirit, unfaltering efforts, and steadfast dedication to police oversight,” she said in a statement.
The mayor praised Malik’s “distinguished tenure” in a statement.
Seven months ago, she accused Emery of calling her and other women “p—–s” and filed suit against him, claiming he retaliated when she raised concerns about the foul language.
Emery soon resigned and the lawsuit was dropped.
Malik’s predecessor, Tracy Catapano-Fox, was fired.
She also sued, claiming she was terminated for investigating allegations of sexual harassment at the board.
Catapano-Fox reached a $275,000 settlement with the city earlier this year.
Jonathan Darche, who previously held the position of chief prosecutor for the agency, was named interim executive director.
