SAO PAULO (AP) — A Brazilian university expelled a woman who was heckled by hundreds of fellow students when she wore a short, pink dress to class, taking out newspaper ads Sunday to publicly accuse her of immorality.
The private Bandeirante University in Sao Bernardo do Campo, outside Sao Paulo, said 20-year-old Geisy Arruda disrespected "ethical principles, academic dignity and morality."
Arruda made headlines last month when she had to be escorted away by police after she tried to go to class wearing the mini-dress. She put on a professor's white coat and left amid a hail of insults and curses.
Video of the Oct. 22 incident was posted on YouTube and picked up by Brazilian networks. Arruda has since appeared frequently on TV, saying she is struggling to return to normal life after being humiliated.
Bandeirante University published advertisements accusing Arruda of attending class with "inadequate clothing" and having a provocative attitude that was "incompatible with the university environment."
In the ad, titled "Educational Responsibility," the college said it had warned Arruda to change her behavior and decided to expel her after talking to students, staff and Arruda herself. It accused her of posing for pictures and provoking other students.
Arruda told Folha Online on Sunday she was appalled.
"I was the victim," she said. "How can I be expelled? It's absurd."
Arruda said she learned of her expulsion through the news media and had not received official notification.
She said university officials told her last week she would be allowed to return to classes with the protection of a security guard.

Her dress seemed mild for the reaction from a country that is famous for their beach thongs and pubic hair cuts!
Its funny because we always say that the liberals say that we should be tolerant because of someone's religious views, when it is an ISAM issue, but when its a Christian issue, in a country that is extremely conservative in its views, you suddenly bash them! Seems fair....right????!!!

Sorry. Here in Brazil means gay men who are homosexual. But I just made a joke in my first comment. So I was talking to the guys seem gay, because they do not like seeing girls using mini-skirt.

I agree about bad publicity, but really what happened is that this
girl is so ugly and she likes to show off and some people did not like about this exhibitionism.
Bruno @ 9....I believe that your bad English is much better than any Portuguese that most here know, so don't worry about it :-D the only ones who might have a problem with it would be ignorant racists.
One question though...when you say that there are many "gays" in this university, are you speaking of homosexuals because that is what we mean when we say "gays". If you mean "men", then you want to say "guys". And yes. Most men love a woman in a miniskirt, so long as she has a figure (shape) that will accommodate wearing one. I see no problem with her wearing a short dress, as long as the the school work gets done.

While what you say is true, I think you miss the point. I think this is bad publicity for this school. Sure some will like it but many young people will be aware of how absurd this school's policies are. Some times it's about making a point. She made her point. She will now likely attend another school.
Hi, I´m brazilian and I can be sure that she didn´t make anything wrong.
In Rio de Janeiro almost all the students go to school with clothes like her. It´s normal there.
In my opinion, there are many gays in this university in São Paulo.
Which man don´t like see a girl wearing a mini skirt?
(sorry about my bad english)

she is a crazy fat pig...
If it was a public university she would have cause to complain. But private universities are just that, and those who don't agree with their dress codes and who don't want to observe them should not attend those schools.
Maybe she wasn't waxed correctly.
She's over dressed for the ASU campus in Tempe.
Save that tuff for Carnaval.
how unfortunate
