There is literally a law in California right now that requires consent for each individual act during sex. Also there is no actual provision for how a guy (or a girl) can prove they aquired affirmative consent. When someone asked the bill writer how exactly one could do so, they basically shrugged and said "I dunno".

In practice, the way these university kangaroo courts have operated is that the student accused of rape typically has their case adjudicated by other students or by university administrators, and isn't allowed to have counsel present, present evidence, confront their accuser, or otherwise have much of the way of due process. There's a rapidly increasing pile of lawsuits over this sort of thing and the courts generally rule in the accused's favor.
