What does 'Yes' means 'yes' mean for Cal State Long Beach?

“Yes Means Yes,” or SB 967, into law, establishes a new standard for sex on California campuses. The law is meant to pressure colleges and universities to respond more vigorously to sexual assault reports. It requires both parties involved in sexual activity to give affirmative consent - only "yes" (or equivalent expressions) implies consensual sex. Previous relationship, silence, or intoxication do not grant permission for sex. “I would say the thing that we lack on campus is the knowledge of what to do when you’ve been sexually assaulted."  What do Long Beach college students think this new language could accomplish?
