A journal reviewing whether to withdraw the comfort women dissertation by Professor Ramsey of Harvard University has entered the process of listening to the opinions of the parties, which is an important step.

They asked for an explanation of whether the Korean comfort women contract was genuine, and it seems that the thesis withdrawal will be decided according to Professor Ramsey's response.



Correspondent Kim Jong-won of New York covered it alone.

This is the content of an e-mail sent to a fellow professor by the leading editor of the journal containing Professor Ramsey's thesis on comfort women.



I sent a questionnaire to Professor Ramsey regarding the current controversy and noted that he was waiting for an answer.



It was found that the questionnaire contained a question about whether the comfort women actually had a Korean comfort women contract as the basis for claiming that they were voluntary prostitutes, and a history distortion case in which even a 10-year-old girl claimed to be a contract prostitute.



Professor Ramsey must respond within two weeks, especially since he has already revealed that there is no contract for Korean comfort women, so his response is expected to have a decisive influence on whether or not to withdraw the thesis.

The Harvard Undergraduate Student Association also joined the ranks of Professor Ramsey's criticism.



The Harvard Student Association unanimously accepted the Korean American Student Association's petition through a vote, criticizing Professor Ramsey and issued a statement demanding an official apology.



Students stipulated that Professor Ramsey's thesis was reflective and undermined the integrity of law and history, and asked the university president and law school dean to state their official position.
