Habitat for Humanity Fires Its Founder Following Sexual Harassment Allegations

ATLANTA, Ga. Jan 31, 2005 — Habitat for Humanity International said Monday it fired its founder after months of dispute over allegations of his inappropriate conduct toward a female staffer.

In a statement, the board's executive committee said it found insufficient evidence to substantiate the sexual harassment allegations stemming from a 2003 business trip, but it cited Millard Fuller's lack of cooperation with the investigation.

Officials also fired Fuller's wife, Linda, who co-founded the Christian home-building organization with him 28 years ago.

"So they decided they would take the draconian step to fire not only me, but my wife," he said.

Habitat would not divulge details of the allegations against Fuller, but Fuller told The Associated Press last year that an aide had accused him of touching her on the neck, shoulder and thigh, and of telling her she had "smooth skin."
