General Connection Information

This metric is part of the Education-to-Workforce (E-W) Indicator Framework, specifically “Outcomes and milestones” which pertain to key outcomes and milestones along the E-W continuum that are strongly associated with individuals accessing mobility in relationships that help them further their goals.

This metric (Percentage of students reporting physical safety and freedom from harassment and discrimination in campus surveys, such as the National Survey of Student Engagement) is a measurement for a key indicator, “(Indicator: School safety),” and measures if students feel physically, mentally, and emotionally safe at school or campus (that is, safe from both physical threats and violence, as well as bullying and cyberbullying).

CEDS elements are shown in bold/italicized font and CEDS options are shown in italics.

Calculating a Response

Use the following CEDS elements to determine the academic year for which the data are being reported:  

1. Academic Year Designator representing July 1 through June 30  

Use the following CEDS elements to determine the universe of students:?? 

1. Pull all unique students which is determined by using a unique Person Identifier where Has Person Identifier Type = Student Identifierand Has Person Identification System = State, or if your survey responses are collected anonymously, use Survey Participant Session GUID 
2. Where the Student 

a.      is associated with a Postsecondary Institution through the Organization Identifier where the Organization Identifier Type = Office of Postsecondary Education Identifier 

b.      Has Role = PS Student

From the universe of students, narrow the list to identify which students are reporting physical safety and freedom from harassment and discrimination in campus surveys, such as the National Survey of Student Engagement using the following CEDS elements:

1. Survey Identifier or Survey Short Name or Survey Title
1. National Survey of Student Engagement, or
2. An Assessment of similar degree
2. Survey Administration Finish Date is within the Academic Year Designator
3. Survey Level for Which Designed = Postsecondary (PS)
4. Survey Score Metric Type = Scale score or Raw Score
5. Survey Result Score Value is ≥ the level established by the organization are considered reporting a high-level of physical safety and freedom from harassment and discrimination on campus surveys.

Divide the number of students who are reporting a high-level of physical safety and freedom from harassment and discrimination on campus surveys by the total number of students who took the survey. Multiply by 100.
