Columbia senior Emma Sulkowicz will carry her dorm-room mattress with her everywhere she goes “for as long as I attend the same school as my rapist,” she says.


The visual arts major is one of 23 students who have filed federal Title IX complaints against Columbia in April for mishandling sexual-assault cases. For her senior thesis — two years later — she’s using performance art to protest her attacker’s presence.

“The piece could potentially take a day, or it can go on until I graduate,” Sulkowicz said.
