What about those who get raped while in state custody?

The best way to not become victim of false allegation is not to flirt on campus.

Just hold the joystick tight while on campus and use it elsewhere.

This will all be hearsay. How will schools know if she said yes or no? Will they take her word for it? What if the accused claims she said yes, but she denies saying yes? Who do you believe? How will they justify whom to believe?

I wouldn't be surprised if they found the accused to be guilty. This is one way California is making it so that college campuses don't have any false-rape allegations. They will only get rape cases.
Right.  It creates a judicial system outside of the judicial system.  Of course now we have a civilian police force - the TSA - outside of the normal police and military.  And we've got a do-anything-we-want judiciary - ran by Eric Holder - that operates outside the normal law.

Got a feeling this isn't going to end well.

Politics and Society never ceases to surprise and amaze me at times

Those who oppose the bill are concerned that such a policy, combined with unavoidably murky sexual encounters, will deny college men due process and unfairly categorize them as rapists, causing potentially unfair suspensions and expulsions or reputational damage.

There is already a double standard between men and women this just adds some more fuel to the fire.

In theory it would prevent many clear instances of rape from happening, however it will likely lead to a lot of false accusations.

I think the best solution would be to educate girls how to better protect themselves from sexual assault and to better educate men as to why rape is wrong and the moral consequences.

California Passes First-Ever Bill to Define Sexual Consent on College Campuses

http://time.com/3211938/campus-sexual-assault-consent-california/

<< The California Senate passed a first-in-the-nation bill Thursday to define what amounts to consensual sexual activity in colleges in the state, a milestone at a time when colleges across the country are under close scrutiny for how they handle campus sexual assault. (...) Those who oppose the bill are concerned that such a policy, combined with unavoidably murky sexual encounters, will deny college men due process and unfairly categorize them as rapists, causing potentially unfair suspensions and expulsions or reputational damage. >>
