The chief executive of the Humane Society of the United States will keep his job despite three allegations of sexual harassment filed against him, a decision that reportedly prompted seven members of the charity to resign.

Thirty-one board members reviewed the allegations against Wayne Pacelle during a seven-hour meeting on Thursday. Seven of those members resigned immediately after the decision was made to keep Pacelle, who joined the nonprofit in 2005, the Washington Post reports.

An investigation into the allegations by the law firm Morgan Lewis, which began in December, was first reported last week by the Chronicle of Philanthropy.

None of the board members contacted by the newspaper responded to requests for comment. A message seeking comment from the Washington-based charity, which bills itself as the nation’s largest and “most effective” animal protection organization, was not immediately returned early Friday.

Several donors, however, told the Washington Post that they were appalled by Thursday’s outcome, a clear departure from the handling of other high-profile figures accused of sexual misconduct in the workplace.

Rachel Perman, director of charitable giving at Tofurky, a vegetarian food company that donated $30,000 to the charity in the last two years, told the newspaper she was “disgusted” that Pacelle was allowed to keep his job, which paid him about $380,000 in 2016, according to the charity’s latest tax filing.

“I think Wayne Pacelle should do the right thing and resign,” Perman told the newspaper. “I absolutely will not donate to HSUS if Wayne Pacelle is employed.”

At least one other donor said they would not renew their grant to the charity.

Pacelle has denied the three allegations, including an account by one woman who claimed Pacelle told her that dating him would be beneficial to her career — and threatened to fire her when she refused his request to masturbate in front of her during a work trip in 2006.

“This is a coordinated attempted to attack me and the organization,” Pacelle told the newspaper Monday. “And I absolutely deny any suggestion that I did anything untoward.”

Another woman, a former intern, said Pacelle gave her an unwanted kiss in 2005, and a former employee said the CEO stopped by her office after she joined the organization in 2012 and started salsa dancing before asking her to join him.

“The one complaint about the salsa dancing, I simply had a conversation with a person and it turned into that,” Pacelle told the newspaper. “The person with the hotel — I’m familiar with that. I worked with the person eight years after that allegation. The person never said a thing to me about any harassment, and I certainly never invited her to a hotel room.”

Pacelle, who did not immediately return a request for comment Friday, told the Washington Post late Wednesday that he believes the allegations won’t stop money from flowing to the charity.

“I’ve not gotten one call from a donor who said they’re going to stop supporting the organization,” Pacelle said. “I’ve gotten hundreds that have said the opposite.”
