At least six students at Santo Amaro University have been expelled after participating in a "disgusting" celebration of the women's volleyball team by masturbating during the game and subsequently parading around the gym touching their private area.
The incident took place earlier this year but just went viral after the video began circulating social media this week. “Unisa, an institution with more than 55 years of history, vehemently repudiates this type of behaviour, completely antagonistic to its history and values,” the school said in a statement.
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was asked about the incident while visiting New York for a UN event. “A disgusting, unacceptable episode, the behaviour of young people who are at the university, who intend to be doctors and take care of people,” said Silva. “I vehemently repudiate what happened. It is unacceptable for future doctors to act with such disrespect for women and civility.”
