The Brazilian government sought an explanation 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 October 22.

She had to put on a professor's white coat and was escorted away by police amid a hail of insults and curses.
