  institution  governing  student  behavior,  rights, and responsibilities
  while such student is matriculated in the institution.
5. "Confidentiality" may be  offered  by  an  individual  who  is  not
  required  by  law  to  report known incidents of sexual assault or other
  crimes to institution officials, in a manner consistent with  state  and
  federal  law,  including  but  not  limited  to 20 U.S.C. 1092(f) and 20
  U.S.C.  1681(a). Licensed mental health  counselors,  medical  providers
  and  pastoral  counselors  are examples of institution employees who may
  offer confidentiality.
6. "Privacy" may be offered by an individual when such  individual  is
  unable  to  offer  confidentiality  under  the  law  but shall still not
  disclose information learned from a reporting individual or bystander to
  a crime or incident more than necessary to comply with  this  and  other

§  6441.  Affirmative consent to sexual activity. 1. Every institution
  shall adopt the following definition of affirmative consent as  part  of
  its  code  of conduct: "Affirmative consent is a knowing, voluntary, and
  mutual decision among all participants to  engage  in  sexual  activity.
  Consent  can  be  given  by  words or actions, as long as those words or
  actions create clear permission regarding willingness to engage  in  the
  sexual  activity.  Silence or lack of resistance, in and of itself, does
  not demonstrate consent. The definition of consent does not  vary  based
  upon a participant's sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender
  expression."
2.  Each  institution's  code  of  conduct shall reflect the following
  principles as guidance for the institution's community:
a. Consent to any sexual  act  or  prior  consensual  sexual  activity
  between or with any party does not necessarily constitute consent to any
  other sexual act.
b. Consent is required regardless of whether the person initiating the
  act is under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.
c. Consent may be initially given but withdrawn at any time.
d.  Consent  cannot  be  given  when  a person is incapacitated, which
  occurs when an individual lacks  the  ability  to  knowingly  choose  to
  participate in sexual activity. Incapacitation may be caused by the lack
  of  consciousness or being asleep, being involuntarily restrained, or if
  an individual otherwise cannot  consent.  Depending  on  the  degree  of
  intoxication,  someone  who is under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or
  other intoxicants may be incapacitated and therefore unable to consent.
e. Consent cannot be given when it is  the  result  of  any  coercion,
  intimidation, force, or threat of harm.
f.  When  consent  is  withdrawn  or  can  no  longer be given, sexual
  activity must stop.

§  6442.  Policy  for  alcohol  and/or  drug  use  amnesty.  1.  Every
  institution shall adopt and implement the following policy  as  part  of
  its  code  of  conduct:  "The  health and safety of every student at the
  {Institution} is of utmost  importance.  {Institution}  recognizes  that
  students  who have been drinking and/or using drugs (whether such use is
  voluntary or involuntary) at the time that violence, including  but  not
  limited  to  domestic  violence,  dating  violence,  stalking, or sexual
  assault occurs may be hesitant to report such incidents due to  fear  of
  potential  consequences  for  their  own conduct. {Institution} strongly
  encourages  students  to  report  domestic  violence,  dating  violence,
  stalking, or sexual assault to institution officials. A bystander acting
  in  good  faith  or  a  reporting  individual  acting in good faith that
  discloses any incident of domestic violence, dating violence,  stalking,
  or  sexual  assault to {Institution's} officials or law enforcement will
  not be subject to {Institution's} code of conduct action for  violations
  of alcohol and/or drug use policies occurring at or near the time of the
  commission  of  the  domestic  violence,  dating  violence, stalking, or
  sexual assault."
2.  Nothing  in  this  section  shall  be  construed   to   limit   an
  institution's ability to provide amnesty in additional circumstances.
