SAO PAULO - 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.

3. Private university. "Brazil's national student union released a statement on Sunday saying it was

against the university's decision to expel Arruda, and Brazil's top official for women's policy, Nilcea Freire, told the official Agencia Brasil news service that the decision showed 'intolerance and discrimination'." http://www.3news.co.nz/Brazil-student-expelled-after-wearing-mini-dress/tabid/417/articleID/128821/cat/61/Default.aspx

2. "That's terrible," said the president.

"How many dresses was that?"

4. According to Brazilian law, a woman's dress must be a lot more revealing than hers was.

She should have stuck with the school's official student uniform.

5. In Brazil? I guess the moral violation was that she covered so much up.
