I’m betting the mattress shows up at graduation.
@Hunt, she specifically asked people not to carry pillows! Too soft and fluffy!

She can’t go back now.
***I realize this may have been what you were referring to, but for those who didn’t know…
The university needs to say enough is enough. It was a senior project according to her, according to the college. It’s over. She’s graduating. Presumably they line up and if she shows up with the mattress one would hope that security can take it away and preserve the dignity of the ceremony for all the other students, the majority of whom probably have zero interest in her self-promoting antics at their graduation.
The Wall Street Journal article was remarkably uninformative about the sentiments of the other students. They found one student who opposed the mattress, and one student who supported it. That tells us nothing.
But I’m betting the mattress will be there.
If security doesn’t stop her, Nussberger’s lawyer is going to go balistic.
I’m betting on the mattress.
Sorry that should be Nungessor not Nussberger, but too late to correct.
Looks like Columbia has found a way around specifically calling out Emma and her mattress:
"“Graduates should not bring into the ceremonial area large objects which could interfere with the proceedings or create discomfort to others in close, crowded spaces shared by thousands of people,” an email sent to graduating seniors from GradZone on Monday said.
This excerpt was not included in similar emails from GradZone—Student Affairs’ name for communications regarding graduation—in 2014 or 2013. "
The school refused comment on whether the mattress was the reason for the policy change.
Very clever of mattress girl to drop her obviously false personal claims and frame it as an action in support of genuine victims.
She may be a lying narcissist, but she isn’t dumb.
^^ Columbia has figured out she is becoming a joke, and she is starting to them down with her plus will possibly cost them serious $$$. Smart to stop the nonsense.
Obviously false? How do you know this?
What I find interesting is the Dad. He is supposedly a psychiatrist or something like that and he could not / cannot see see his daughter has a major problem relating to men outside of sex. She openly admits relating to men pretty much through her body parts and thought that was normal. Daddy missed that psychological issue.
Mattress was with her this morning at Class Day Ceremony:
“Daddy missed that psychological issue.”
It sounds like you’re saying that the child of a psychiatrist “or something like that” isn’t supposed to suffer from emotional problems or mental illness, as though it is the parent’s job to cure the child. That’s news to me.
Are the children of oncologists permitted to get cancer? Or does that prove that Daddy missed something?
Both parents are psychiatrists, and the little sister seems to be totally onboard with Emma’s exhibitionism, too.
Is Class Day the actual graduation?
No Class Day is to recognize the individual achievements of each student - like an award ceremony. Graduation is tomorrow.
Her father is not your typical “psychiatrist”. He is founder of the Boswell Group which advises corporate clients and I suppose high level executives on the psychology of leadership.
Also Columbia will be insured for this lawsuit as will the Board of Trustees and the prof.
Don’t you kind of have to be an “exhibitionist” to be a performance artist? It’s not like you can perform performance art at home in your bedroom alone.
Interesting that she claims to have received no “direct communication” regarding the mattress and class day. Did she not read the email sent to all seniors? Or did she not think the mattress qualified as a large object?
Or is she implying that her case is different, and that she should have had a direct communication from the school saying, “yes, we mean you”? Is she exempt from the rules because of “art”?
