On Wednesday, Regent Michael Hsu raised concerns about the legal implications of the proposal, which was poised to take effect at the end of a 30-day comment period next week. Hsu said he’d received numerous e-mails and phone calls in the wake of recent news stories about the policy, which critics say would stack the deck against the accused in any disciplinary proceeding.

Hsu said he wants to hear from the U’s legal counsel about the implications of the policy. Nationally, civil-liberties groups have argued that such rules are unfair in campus disciplinary cases, because they put the burden of proof on the accused.

This is really heartening news. At least some people in positions of power are finally taking the civil liberties concerns over 'affirmative consent' seriously.
