Abstract: The collection of information through the Campus Safety and Security Survey (CSS) 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 students, 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 the Department of Education (ED) is made available to the public through the Campus Safety and Security Data Analysis and Cutting Tool as well as the College Navigator.
