The Umeå University student union has found itself fighting accusations of sexism after a raucous dinner party organised by business students last weekend
Larsson underlined that the university has battled to stamp out an old-fashioned view of student life.
"We have worked hard to get rid of sexist songs, for example. We are never fully protected from this sort of thing but it is becoming more unusual," he said.
But according to Västerbottens Folkbladet a similar party was organized by HHUS in November last year, only on that occasion the roles were reversed.
Female students at the business school were then treated to a show featuring, among other things, young naked men dancing on stage with large cream-smothered "Falu" sausages clasped between their legs.
When asked if the lightly-clad women and men featured at the parties were hired for the occasion or whether they were fellow students at the university, Nils Larsson replied:
"I have no idea. I have asked HHUS to compile and submit a full report over the incident. We welcome clarification over who was responsible and what is being done to tighten up routines," he said.
The Local spoke to HHUS chairperson Ludwig Sikström on Tuesday but was told that he was currently unavailable for comment.
