Emma Sulkowicz will be at the State of the Union
An invitation to attend the State of the Union is a great honor. The presence of guests can also, however, be a political strategy employed by politicians to humanize the issues for which they fight and to demand public attention.
This year, it appears that one famous Columbia University senior, Emma Sulkowicz, will attend the State of the Union for just this purpose: to demand attention be paid to the pressing issues of campus sexual assault.
