A Cornell University student stripped off in the middle of her thesis presentation after her professor remarked on the length of her shorts.
Letita Chai, a student at the New York Ivy League school, took off her clothes during her thesis presentation which she live-streamed on Facebook on Saturday.
She claims one of her teachers warned that her denim shorts were "too short" earlier in the week.
The student added that at the time she was wearing denim shorts and a blue button down shirt.
Some students in the class stood by their teacher and said she was actually referring to the "important of professionalism in certain public speaking situations."
Miss Chai wrote on her Facebook page that professor Magor asked her: "What would your mom think?" and told her that her clothing choice was making a statement.
The student told the class that her protest was to "fight oppressive beliefs."
Footage from the incident was live streamed on her thesis Facebook page and has been watched over 30,000 times.
In the video, Miss Chai said that the comments from her professor had made her question her appearance "for the comfort of others. "
