DESCRIPTION
On 8th August 2010, National Democratic Party of Tibet issued a press statement about Dr. Lobsang Sangay's position at Harvard Law School, particularly that on 17-6-2005, the Department of Education granted him a waiver for the community service and advised him to continue his academic work in the US and outreach to Chinese scholars/students towards Track II Sino-Tibetan dialogue, and his present academic position and employment status at the Harvard Law school. Given the interests expressed by some, please find below the translation of all the relevant documents. Also find copies of the originals on our website at www.ndp4tibet.org On a related note, he is not an American citizen and continues to carry his Identity Certificate (IC). These documents should reaffirm, as stated by Harvard Law School, Dr. Lobsang Sangay's impeccable reputation both as a persona and a scholar.TRANSCRIPT
HIGH LEVEL SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE
CENTRAL TIBETAN ADMINISTRATION OF HIS HOLINESS THE DALAI LAMA Ref. No. SO (1) DOE/2005‐06/610 17 June 2005 Dear Lobsang Sangay, JD/PhD Law: This is to acknowledge the receipt of your letter (dated 15 April 2005) addressed to the Chairman of High Level Scholarship Committee (HLSC) of CTA. I have briefed the committee about the contents of your letter during its 75th meeting, and hereby present the committee’s and the Kashag’s suggestions and advice. [“]Given the commendable service extended towards facilitating a peaceful Sino‐Tibetan dialogue, following the successful completion of your studies in International Law, it is deemed beneficial if you stayed in the US and continued with your works instead of returning to India for a time. To ensure that your stay does not amount to violation of the HLSC rules and regulations, which require recipient of overseas scholarship to return to India after completion of their studies and serve the community, your services extended there [in the US] shall be counted in lieu and fulfillment of the stipulated years of service. [”] Moreover, in view of this decision, it is highly advisable that you sustain your effort towards facilitation of a peaceful Sino‐Tibetan dialogue and the Track II Sino‐Tibetan Diplomacy in the US.
