Quotable Facts On Campus Safety:

  • There have been [14] fatal mass shootings on American college campuses since 1990.
  • According to a recent survey on Emergency Management in Higher Education, only 15% of institutions have added positions to address critical incident planning.
  • Following the tragedy at Virginia Tech in April 2007, most institutions reported updating their emergency plans, but those plans likely become stale as the tragedy unfortunately fades from memory.
  • Fewer than 30% of institutions reported having a campus-wide business continuity plan.
  • More than 60% of the respondents to a recent survey say they will have the same amount of money or more to devote to campus public safety, security and emergency management. This indicates that safety continues to be a high priority for most institutions.
