A Facebook page dedicated to identifying ‘hot’ students at the University of Melbourne has sparked outrage online.

The ‘Hotties of Melbourne University’ page shares photos of unsuspecting students to over 13,000 followers, prompting ‘perverted’ comments from male viewers and many calling for the page to be removed.

It also reveals the name, degree and even the whereabouts of the students without their permission.

A photo of one student was accompanied by information detailing an event she would be attending, 'in case anybody wanted to go especially to see her'.

“She'll be at the FABSOC event next Tuesday if anyone wants to pick her up,” the caption read, accompanied by a smiley face.

More information was given of a music student and where her performance would be.

“Gotta sus this new club boiz,” one man commented on the post.

“Some vibrato on her g-string would make some beautiful music,” another said.

On a picture of a veterinary medicine student one man wrote: “shoot me with tranquilliser right now before I go out to hunt!”

The disturbing content on the page has caused a backlash from members of the community, who have demanded that the page be taken down.

“In a tertiary education environment, where I would hope those attending Melbourne University are sharp enough to understand the elements that promote objectification and rape culture, I am horrified to find this page in existence,” one woman wrote.

“You are allowing images to be posted of individuals for the sake of objectification without their consent. What does this say about respect, consent and the values of those of you promoting this, those of you who should know better?”

“It names where and when these women will be!” said another.

“In the end it degrades women and gives expression to "boys" who think it is ok to treat women like objects! This leads to a rape mentality, a rape culture. SHUT IT DOWN!”

One man added: “Meet Australia's future leaders... How did we get to this point?”

One student was so disgusted by the page that she has started a petition to have it removed.

Laura Blandthorn has gathered over 14,000 signatures on the document that claims the page is ‘perpetuating rape culture’.

“The continued presence of the page allows rape culture to trickle into the lives of the students of The University of Melbourne. It will no longer be tolerated for it condones sexism, predatory behaviour and disrespect,” Ms Blandthorn wrote on the petition.
