 It is a quite prestigious role to be invited to undertake as it implies the trust and respect of the student community.The inspektor may be of either gender and is usually a professor (although in Sweden any member of the university's teaching staff is acceptable).The position originated in the 17th century as a way for the university administration to keep watch on the student population after Uppsala, Helsinki and Lund universities realised that they were unable to forbid the nation system outright.
