This Alleged College Rape Survivor Continued to Walk With Her Mattress, Even on Graduation Day
Nine months ago Columbia University student Emma Sulkowicz opened up about being raped in her own dorm bed. Sulkowicz didn’t file a formal report. Instead, she asked her school to take action.
When Columbia didn’t hold her attacker responsible, Emma took the issue on with her own two hands, carrying her mattress wherever she went on campus until either she graduated or her school made a new ruling. Her protest gained nationwide attention and become her senior thesis, “Mattress Performance: Carry That Weight.”
For Sulkowicz, the mattress represented the weight that she carried around since the night of her rape and that she said she’d continue to carry as long as her alleged attacker, Paul Nungesser, was at her school.
Yesterday, after the administration at Columbia failed to change their ruling, she kept to her plan and walked onstage with the mattress during commencement. Her friends helped her carry it as the audience cheered. Sulkowicz didn’t shake hands with the school’s President as she received her diploma. Nungesser also graduated yesterday.
