SFUN 2024 Report

Security and Safety
Students are feeling safer on campus than ever before. For 2024, 93.5% of SFUN survey respondents agreed that they felt safe in our campus environment. This number has been steadily rising from 84.8% in 2019. We have also seen a significant reduction in the numbers of respondents feeling concerned about sexual assault or sexual harassment on campus, with this number dropping from 766 respondents in 2021 to 102 in 2024. While these results are positive, 183 respondents still have concerns about insufficient lighting. This is the top concern on-campus and top three for off-campus concerns.
