Taipei (dpa) - Taiwan's president Tsai Ing-wen said on Monday she would make her original doctorate dissertation publicly available in a bid to disprove rumours that she had lied about having a PhD.Accusations that Tsai did not have a doctorate degree from the London School of Economics (LSE) in 1984 have caused difficulties during her re-election campaign.Tsai's office provided documentation from LSE to prove the president defended and received her doctorate, and spokesman Huang Chung-yen also announced that the original copy of the more than 400-page dissertation would be donated to Taiwan's national library "so everyone can see it as soon as possible."Critics said they were suspicious of handwritten corrections, uneven formatting and missing pages from the dissertation.But presidential spokesman Chang Tun-han said none of these features were odd or suspicious. "Microsoft Word did not exist 35 years ago and dissertations like this were typed one page at a time," Chang said. In early September, attorneys for Tsai filed a libel lawsuit against two academics who publicly claimed Tsai never passed her oral examination to defend her dissertation.# Notebook
