To the Editor:I would like to elaborate on the statements I made in the story about me: “A Harvard Star, Accused” (Sunday Business, Dec. 16). Because of the mission and work ethic of EdLabs, the Harvard-affiliated social science research lab that I founded, it has always been a collegial and at times irreverent place. Lab employees, male and female, have on occasion made off-color jokes and commented on one another’s lives outside of work, including their dating lives. As the faculty director of the lab, I allowed, encouraged and participated in this atmosphere. If anyone who worked at the lab ever felt alienated, confused or offended by the environment, I sincerely apologize.
