Mark Ramsayer, a Harvard Law School professor, claimed in his thesis that the victims of comfort women were prostitutes.
Professor Ramsey argued that the Japanese government did not force the victims of the comfort women to have sex, and that the comfort women who followed the military received more money than ordinary prostitutes.
They defined the victims of comfort women as voluntary prostitutes.
Crimson, a Harvard campus newspaper, reports that Ramsey's claims are being criticized both inside and outside the university.
A professor of Korean history at Harvard University criticized the dissertation as being miserable empirically, historically, and morally.
Earlier last month, the far-right Japanese Sankei Shimbun released a summary of the paper with the consent of Professor Ramsey.
On the 4th, the Harvard Law School Korean Student Association issued a criticism that it condemned human rights violations and the deliberate deletion of war crimes.
800 law school students from across the country also joined the statement, and the Harvard Korean Student Association will also submit a petition to the university headquarters asking for an apology from Professor Ramsey.
