Calif. community colleges could punish off-campus sexual assault under new bill
Saying she just wanted to give all state colleges the same treatment, a Santa Barbara Democrat introduced a bill to let community colleges punish students for off-campus sexual assaults.
University of California and California State University campuses already have “extended jurisdictions” in place, according to state Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson:
Senate Bill 186 will allow community college districts to use their disciplinary process to expel or suspend students for sexual assault and sexual battery. …
“I have heard from community college leaders that this is a tool they would like to have in place so they can keep their students and communities safe. This is particularly important in a place such as Isla Vista, where we have UC students and community colleges students living next to each other, but being held to different standards, “ said Jackson.
That Isla Vista reference apparently alludes to the shooting and stabbing spree by community college student Elliot Rodger last spring. Rodger said in a YouTube he had planned a “day of retribution” because women didn’t find him attractive.
Jackson said the bill would “complement but not supersede the criminal justice process.”
College Fix readers may recognize Jackson’s name – she cosponsored the state’s pioneering “yes means yes” affirmative consent measure with Sen. Kevin de Leon, which became law last fall.

The plural of school is schools, Aleister, not school’s. That last is a possessive meaning school of.
Of the school, sorry, not school of.
