a controversial tv documentary on radical feminism in sweden titled "the gender war", which was aired in 2005, generated debate on eva lundgren's work in both sweden and norway. this led uppsala university's rector bo sundqvist to first announce a public debate on lundgren's research, then cancel the debate and appoint a commission consisting of political scientist jörgen hermansson and philosopher margareta hallberg to investigate lundgren's research. the inquiry cleared her of any wrongdoing, although hallberg and hermansson aimed criticism at her conclusions. however, the inquiry and the report were criticized by uppsala university's chief lawyer marianne andersson, who stated that hallberg and hermansson's criticism of lundgren's conclusions was inappropriate and illegal in the context of such a report, and not in their mandate, which was solely to investigate claims of wrongdoing. lundgren dismissed the criticism. 14 leading researchers in lundgren's field of study also criticized the "unique" inquiry, stating that hermansson and hallberg were not competent to assess lundgren's research. the university committed itself to restoring lundgren's reputation, granting her and her research group increased funding in compensation for having subjected her to an unjustified inquiry.
