A sign that tried to say "...instead of "This college has a police force and the prosecutor on speed-dial. We take sexual assault VERY SERIOUSLY. If you try it you WILL be prosecuted, you WILL likely go to prison and you WILL NOT finish college. In case you really don't know what sexual assault is (seriously? you don't know?) here is an official to explain it to you. Consent- get it! We're not kidding!" just wouldn't scan as well nor be easily readable. This is a sound byte.
Since most rapes are by friends/acquaintances/people the victim knows or is close to, not strangers in dark alleys, there's no possible way of avoiding the situations completely. It's a discussion that needs to happen with both sexes, not just one.
