Expelled Over A Miniskirt
SAO PAULO (AP) -- The Brazilian government sought an explanation Monday from the private university that expelled a woman for wearing a short, pink dress to class, creating an uproar on the Internet and throughout a nation where skimpy attire is common.

The Brazilian Education Ministry said it will give Bandeirante University 10 days to clarify its reasoning for kicking out 20-year-old Geisy Arruda after she was ridiculed by other students for going to class with the short dress on Oct. 22. She had to put on a professor's white coat and was escorted away by police amid a hail of insults and curses.

A video of the incident was posted on YouTube and quickly made headlines across Brazil. The university's decision Sunday to expel the student prompted complaints from the national student union and the country's minister in charge of women's policy, among others.

Depending on what the university has to say, the Education Ministry could recommend that it reconsider its decision, Education ministry spokesman Murilo Milhomem said.

The university published newspaper advertisements Sunday saying it expelled Arruda for allegedly disrespecting "ethical principles, academic dignity and morality."

The ads also alleged that Arruda acted in a provocative manner incompatible with the university environment.

"We are following our rules," university lawyer Decio Lencioni told Globo TV. "The problem is not her clothes; it's her behavior, her attitude."

Lencioni and the university said Arruda even raised her dress and stopped to pose for photos the night she was insulted. He said she also chose the longest way to get to class to attract the attention of more students.

In Sunday's ads, titled "Educational Responsibility," the college said it had previously warned Arruda to change her behavior and decided to expel her after talking to students, staff and Arruda herself.

Arruda, who was studying tourism, said Monday she was disheartened by the decision.

"What I wanted the most was to go back to school," she told Globo TV. "My entire year is gone now. It's a great injustice. Everyone in Brazil saw the video. I always dressed in a way that makes me feel good and that doesn't offend anybody. I was always like that and was never recriminated by anybody."

Civil police in the city of Sao Bernardo do Campo, where the university is located, said they will investigate the students accused of heckling Arruda. The university said it would temporarily suspend some of them.

Brazil's national student union, the Brazilian BAR Association, and several other institutions condemned Arruda's expulsion. Brazil's minister for women's policy, Nilcea Freire, told the official Agencia Brasil news service Sunday that the decision showed "intolerance and discrimination."

Although Brazil is known for revealing clothing -- especially in beach cities, where many bikinis are referred to locally as "dental floss" -- most college students dress more modestly on campus, commonly in jeans and T-shirts.

:naughty:
 
I noticed it says ministry.


Is it a church type of college? If you are not a christian who agree with their policy, then you shouldn't join that college.

exactly! I find it surprising that government is taking interest in it. I mean... it's really none of business for government but it's kinda funny in a way to me... hence the title of this thread - "What Would Jiro Government Be Like?"
 
I realize it may not be a church college. But I could be wrong. and I am not sure what educational ministry is.. although ministry itself usually relate to religion.

either way - same thing. I find it surprising that government is poking its nose around. Maybe this girl has political connection :dunno:

On that note - many private universities in Brazil is Catholic so maybe it is a Catholic private school. Ministry of Education is same as Department of Education in here. Ministry means an agency - equivalent to "Department" in here.

Ministry of Justice
Ministry of Health
Ministry of Defense
so on....
 
PIC?!?!?! Ha.

I think they are silly to control over people's clothes. Jiro may have a good point about her political connection or government paranoia.

Mmm... I dont know why it is so big deal since she looks so beautiful to me. :dunno:
 
a miniskirt is a miniskirt, it doesn't matter how great of a body you have or how pretty you are. Unless you think a miniskirt would look like something on a movie played "pretty women" They have a policy and they probably had a rule about a skirt being certain inches above the knee (our PUBLIC high school had this rule as well). I'm sure they made it very clear about their dress code.

<Jiro Government steps in> :lol:
 
There are few time where a church ask a person to leave the property but he wouldn't cooperate. So sometimes they had to call the police to make him leave.

Notice she keep tugging her skirt down? if she have to keep pulling it down, it must be too short enough for people to see her undies (if she is wearing one, yikes. One time at the mall There was a woman wore a miniskirt but she wasn't wearing any undies. She kept bending over for some guy and I accidentally walked into that! I didn't think people do that sort of things at the mall).

Mod note:

Just a reminder, that this is current event subforum, not penisarium... thus I removed inappropriate image for minors.

Thanks.
 
I dont think she looked that bad but Lighthouse made a good point, if she had to keep tugging at it to keep it down, it probably was riding up exposing her bottom.

I think Jiro's government would allow nudity at schools. :lol:
