I'm not debating that rape is horrible crime that needs to be stopped, and support the stuff further down in the article, but I still wonder how the "verbal consent" part is really going to change things? This works if there's witnesses saying there was none or some kind of video/audio recording of what's going on, but if there's none of those this still is a "he said/she said" thing.
I wonder how this will actually play out in a court of law. It's a good law with good intentions, but as we've all learned so well things aren't as clear and simple as they seem.
Also, why do they still allow the university to investigate? It should be actual law enforcement. The university can cooperate, sure, but this stuff needs to be handled by the police.
^The irony tho
