A Sao Paulo university student has been reinstated after being expelled for wearing a mini-dress.

Geisy Arruda, a tourism student at Bandeirante University in Brazil, was expelled on Oct. 22 after her outfit sparked outrage among students and faculty.

According to an article in the Associated Press, University officials released a statement explaining Arruda was expelled for disrespecting “ethical principles, academic dignity and morality.”

Amid severe backlash from the student union and the Ministry of Education in Brazil, and threats from Arruda’s lawyers, the dean of the school released a statement on Monday retracting the expulsion.

According to the Associated Press, Arruda told media she was humiliated by the entire incident.

Currently Western does not have a comparable dress code.

“We are unaware of any general dress code at Western, other than the need to wear protective clothing or equipment in some labs,” Matthijs Van Gaalen, student senator said.
