When it Comes to Consent, ‘Yes Means Yes’ Is Not Enough

A policy that was once ridiculed is now a standard at universities across the country. In the past, a sketch on Saturday Night Live mocked an affirmative consent policy at Antioch College, portraying it as absurd. The policy has since become widely accepted, with many advocating for a shift from "no means no" to "yes means yes". This change aims to clarify that silence does not equal consent. Further details on this development are available from local sources, including Ms. Magazine, which has covered the evolution of consent policies in the area.
