Brazilian university student Geisy Arruda was expelled for wearing a mini-skirt on October 22, 2009. A YouTube video of the incident shows fellow students heckling her as she is escorted out of the building by officers. Since the incident, Arruda has appeared on several Brazilian news shows explaining the story and how the humiliation has affected her.

On November 8, 2009, the Bandeirante University in Bernando do Campo took out newspaper ads with a headline of "Educational Responsibility" which publicly accused Arruda of being provocative and explained the university's reasoning behind her expulsion.http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33771623/ns/world_news-americas/>/ref>
