been more inclined to report what happened to police. now senate bill 967 goes for a final amendment today. the proposal would require all universities and colleges that receive funds for student financial assistance to clarify what is sexual consent. things like silence or lack of resistance would not constitute consent. consent cannot be granted if students are unconscious or incapacitated by drugs or alcohol to the point where they can understand the nature of the activity. several lawmakers say this will provide some consistency in providing sexual assault cases. here at uc berkeley they've made efforts to increase sexual assault awareness, especially to incoming freshmen. >> i think this law would help create a culture change, the most important aspect of this. >> i think it puts more clarity and a lot more focus on not the victim of the crime but the
