This is an extremely important bill to have passed! I can't believe this hasn't been a law until now, it's completely ridiculous that it has to be explained by law that simply a lack of a "No" does not mean that a "Yes" is present. Hopefully this law will bring about a lower rape rate, not only in colleges, but everywhere. I hope that this law begins a trend that more states will follow in the near future. More colleges need to realize that their students have a serious risk while attending college, going to parties, and living on campus. Unwanted sexual advances need to stop and be taken seriously by campuses and state governments alike.
