Before Emma Sulkowicz started carrying a mattress around Columbia University, she spoke with TIME about sexual assault on campus, as well as how she felt about her graduation, then a year away.

The President of the college snubbed her by not shaking her hand when she walked. What a prick.

I thought she chose not to shake his hand BECAUSE he mistreated her and didn’t take any disciplinary actions against her rapist?

As Ms. Sulkowicz and her friends ascended the stage, Mr. Bollinger, who had been shaking the students’ hands, turned his back and leaned down as though to pick something up from his seat. Ms. Sulkowicz leaned over the mattress, trying to catch his eye, then straightened up and kept walking, shrugging with her free hand.

“I even tried to smile at him or look him in the eye, and he completely turned away,” she said later. “So that was surprising, because I thought he was supposed to shake all of our hands.”
