I'd already decided not to go to Picocon, but I'd have thought twice about attending after reading your post.
A similarly offensive piece in the UEA student magazine (Phoenix) led to the university taking disciplinary action against the magazine's editorial team. And that was in the 1980s.
If I were a female student at ICU, I would be seeking legal advice. And I wouldn't feel safe knowing that one (or more) of my fellow students thought this was amusing and appropriate behaviour.
