California, the first state to implement this law, will require colleges that want to keep their state funding intact to deploy the "affirmative consent" standard when adjudicating sexual assault cases. This means that campus authorities will have to establish whether the partners obtained "affirmative, conscious, and voluntary" agreement. Although non-verbal consent is allowed, verbal is better. And it has to be obtained at every stage — touching, kissing, and foreplay — not just initially.

I have so much to say on this subject, I don't even know where to start. This article makes some points but theres so much more. I'm a firm believer that while there is a problem with rape and consent on college campuses (and off), this is not a solution. I also agree there is a problem with the reporting and handling of rape cases on campus (and off), this again is not a solution.
