closeSAO PAULO -- A Brazilian university has expelled a woman who was heckled by hundreds of fellow students for wearing a short, pink dress to class -- publicly accusing her Sunday 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 after the Oct. 22 incident, in which she had to be escorted away by police after wearing the mini-dress to class. She put on a professor's white coat and left amid a hail of insults and curses.
The college said it had warned Arruda to change her behavior.
