California Gov. Jerry Brown has signed a law requiring all state colleges to adopt a policy of unambiguous, affirmative consent by students engaged in sexual activity. The measure is part of a nationwide effort to curb sexual assault on American campuses. The “yes means yes” law will be the first in the country to make affirmative consent language a central tenet of school sexual-assault policies, according to proponents. The legislation was passed by the California State Senate last month. It defines consent as “an affirmative, conscious, and voluntary agreement to engage in sexual activity.”
