Spalding University Student Safety Questionnaire

Executive Summary

The Spalding Campus Safety survey is designed to measure current levels of victimization among Spalding University students and their perceptions of safety on campus. The survey will also assess campus use patterns and student’s knowledge of campus safety measures and services already in place aimed to identify points of prevention and intervention. It is a voluntary internet survey of our nearly 3,400 students age 18 and over.

Introduction

Although in recent years national crime rates have continued to decline, in the wake of the small number of high profile shootings on college campuses, concern over the safety of college campuses has increased. By administering this survey, Spalding University is taking a proactive approach to insuring campus safety. This survey is designed to measure current levels of victimization among Spalding students and their perceptions of safety on campus. The survey will also assess student campus use patterns and their knowledge of programs and services to identify points of prevention and intervention. The survey is focused on a broad range of victimization experiences in order to gain a complete picture of victimization of our students both on and off campus.

The information sought in this survey goes beyond the crimes reported annually under the Jeanne Clery/Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act, to include crimes not reported to campus officials. Participation in this survey will provide Spalding University with the ability to address the needs and concerns of its students, an opportunity to make improvements where needed, and to raise student awareness of existing safety measures and services.
