the Campus Safety and Security Survey is necessary under section
485 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, with the goal
of increasing transparency surrounding college safety and security
information for student, prospective students, parents, employees
and the general public. The survey is a collection tool to compile
the annual data on campus crime and fire safety. The data collected
from the individual institutions by ED is made available to the
public through the Campus Safety and Security Data Analysis and
Cutting Tool as well as the College Navigator.
