A male student who was nude also was charged, but it wasn't immediately clear what he was doing during the Pittsburgh school's spring fine arts parade last month.
Katherine O'Connor, 19 was arrested after she paraded nude, handing out condoms with a cross shaved into her pubic hair.
In big trouble: A Carnegie Mellon University student was charged Friday with indecent exposure by campus police after a Catholic bishop complained about her parading nude from the waist down while dressed as the pope
Indecent exposure: Court records show students Katherine B. O'Connor, 19, of Pittsburgh, and Robb S. Godshaw, 22, of Wilmette, Illinois, were charged by campus police with indecent exposure

‘There are competing values at issue here: Carnegie Mellon aims to be a place where ideas can be expressed and debated openly, but also where people of all backgrounds, faiths, and beliefs feel welcomed and supported,’ Cohon said.
Bishop David Zubik of the Pittsburgh Catholic Diocese complained after the April 18 parade, in which the female student — with her pubic hair shaved in the shape of a cross — threw condoms to onlookers. Cohon apologized last week for the display.
The university did not identify the two students. Court records show students Katherine B. O'Connor, 19, of Pittsburgh, and Robb S. Godshaw, 22, of Wilmette, Illinois, were charged by campus police with indecent exposure. No attorney was listed for either.
