Columbia University pays large settlement to student harassed by ‘senior thesis’ of ‘Mattress Girl’
By Thomas Lifson

You remember Emma Sulkowicz, aka “Mattress Girl," don’t you?”  She accused fellow student Paul Nungesser of what these days is termed “gender-based misconduct,” but which seems to be really just rape, or maybe sexual assault, if a jury so found.

I wonder why he hadn't already sued her.  He was exonerated.  She was running around loudly proclaiming him guilty.  Sounds like a good case for slander to me, although I am obviously not an attorney.

The university's 'apology' was one of those 'I'm sorry you were offended' things, but I guess I'd rather have the cash than the words anyway.
