Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakawakia e tētahi ākonga tāne i te tūkino i tana hoa akomanga te Whare Wānanga o Columbia mō te kore i ārai i a ia i te whakahē me te whakawhiu. I whakakahoretia e nga mana te take a Emma Sulkowicz, ko Paul Nungesser, he tangata whenua Tiamana, he 'kaipahua raupatu' nana i whakaeke ia ia i muri i te akomanga. Heoi anō, i aro atu te ao ki te take i te wā i whakaatu a Sulkowicz, he ākonga matua i roto i ngā toi whakairoiro, i tōna moenga i runga i te tūmatanui hei whakahe, e karanga ana kia whakawakia ia. E ai ki te kerēme a Nungesser e kī ana i te 'whakamekemeke i runga i te ira tangata me te tawai', i whakaaturia e Columbia nga whakapae hei meka i runga i te paetukutuku a te whare wānanga. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. 'Kaore he tiaki': Kei te whakawakia e Paul Nungesser te Whare Wānanga o Columbia mo te tuku i a Emma Sulkowicz ki te whakatere i te kura me te tango i te waka a te kura me tana moenga hei whakahe ki a ia, e kii ana he kainoho ia. I tukuna te kerēme ki te kooti ā-rohe o Manhattan i te Rāhoroi, e toru rā i muri i te whakakore a tētahi kaiwhakawa i tētahi atu kerēme i runga i te ira tangata i tukuna e tētahi ākonga tāne ki te Whare Wānanga o Columbia. Ko nga kaiwhiwhi ko te kura, ko tana poari o nga kaitiaki, ko te Perehitini Lee C. Bollinger me te Ahorangi Jon Kessler. Ko te kerēme i tono ai kia utua he ngaronga kāore i whakaritea. 'Ko te tautoko whai hua a te Whare Wananga o Columbia mo te whakawhiu i runga i te ira tangata me te tawai i a Paora i hua ai te whakawehi, te riri, te whakaiti... te ako me te taiao noho,' e kii ana te whakawa. Ko Roger Hornsby, he kaikorero a Columbia, i kii kaore he korero a te kura. Kaore i whakahokia mai nga karere imeera e tono ana i nga korero mai i a Bollinger me Kessler. I roto i tana whakawakanga, i kii a Nungesser i whakaatuhia e tetahi paetukutuku a Columbia he mea pono i whakaekea e ia a Sulkowicz, he kaitohutohu matua i roto i nga toi whakairoiro. I kī te kura i whakaaetia a Sulkowicz kia mau i tētahi moenga ki ngā akomanga, te whare pukapuka me te waka i whakawhiwhia e te whare wānanga hei wāhanga o tana tuhinga matua, i whakaaetia e Kessler te 'Kaupapa moenga' mō tana whiwhinga akoranga, ā, ko te kupu whakaari a Sulkowicz kia mau i tōna moenga ki te tohu paetahi, ka ārai pea i a Nungesser me ōna mātua, e hiahia ana ki te rere atu i Tiamana, mai i...
I whakapaehia a Paul Nungesser mo te raupatu i tana hoa o mua a Emma Sulkowicz. I kukume te take i te aro o te ao i a ia e whakaatu ana i tana moenga i nga waahi katoa i haere ai ia ki te whakahe, me te tono kia whakawakia a Nungesser. I whakakahoretia e te kaiwhakawa te take i tapaina ai a Nungesser hei 'kaipahua raupatu' Kei te whakawakia ia i te kura nā te kore i ārai i a ia i te pānga kino. E ai ki a Nungesser, he Tiamana ia, i whakaatuhia e te kura nga kerēme hei meka.
