Bad thermostat. Fan clutch is operating normally. It should only bring the fan to an immediate stop when it's engaged, which would be when it's hot. I don't think your coolant temperature is getting hot enough to engage the fan clutch.
It won't do any significant harm to run it that way for a few weeks, though it will affect the operating characteristics of the heater and may cost you a few mpg until you get it fixed.
