近日關於總統蔡英文倫敦政經學院（LSE）學歷一事紛擾不斷，特別是有人對「論文」未能陳列查閱部份多有質疑。對此，北美洲台灣人教授協會（NATPA）由會長蔡靜輝教授具名，去函詢問LSE圖書館有關的工作人員，獲得「蔡英文總統論文的影本，最遲下週就會放在特藏閱覽室」的說明答覆。
LSE回覆蔡靜輝教授的函件有3項重點：1.證實倫敦政經學院已經非常明確地釐清（蔡英文的）論文確實繳交，且該學位若沒有繳交論文是不能授予的；2.我們已經得到一份蔡英文總統論文的影本，最遲下週就會放在我們的特藏閱覽室；3.依此論文繳交當時版權的明文規定，任何引用或複製都需得到作者的書面授權。因此我們決定限制任何複製該論文，除非事前取得許可。
LSE回覆信件原文：
Dear Professor Tsay
I can confirm that LSE has made it very clear that the thesis was submitted properly and that the degree could not have been awarded without it.
Due to the current interest, we have been given a facsimile copy of President Tsai’s thesis and it should be available in our special collections reading room by next week at the latest.
Copyright statements on all our theses from that period make it clear that any quoting or reproduction need written permission from the author – we have therefore taken the decision to restrict any copying of the thesis unless permission has been given in advance.
I hope this helps
yours sincerely
Clive
