Bonorris was met there by Oak Yard Resident Dean of Freshmen Jonas V. Clark.

Neal said that the University has reached out to all students affected by the ultraviolet light exposure. Tucci, the course head, also sent all LPSA students an email on Wednesday afternoon encouraging them to report any eye irritation or pain to UHS.

Bonorris said he does not hold his teaching fellow or Tucci responsible for his injury.

“I consider it my fault,” he said. “I should have had my goggles on.”

But Bonorris’ mother, Judith Rabinowitz, said she remains concerned.

When Bonorris called her several days after the incident to briefly tell her what had happened, Rabinowitz said her initial reaction was “shock and concern and lack of understanding.”

“I had very partial information from him about what had happened,” she said.

On Sunday, Rabinowitz said she called her son and asked why “nobody from Harvard call[ed] the parents about a potentially dangerous injury.”

“I think we were in the dark basically about what happened,” she said.

Rabinowitz, who works for the U.S. Department of Justice in the Bay Area, said she has not considered taking legal action against the University.

“I don’t have enough information about the incident or the consequences to my son’s health to even know how to think about it,” she said.
