Slightly more non-white respondents feel unsafe than whites, but the differences are very small. For example, all campus community members feel less safe around the campus edges than on campus, particularly at night. Comparing students, faculty and staff, the classified staff tends to feel least safe in all domains. These group differences in safety perceptions among students, faculty, and staff are likely to be due to the differing sex distribution of the groups. This indicates that the sex distribution does not account for all sub-group differences.
Students are more frequently crime victims than faculty or staff.
Property crimes predominate the university community, and these occur both day and night. Non-whites are less likely to have been victimized by crime than whites, both in the community and on campus. Interestingly, students are more likely to report crimes to EPD than faculty or staff, but students are less likely to report crimes to OPS than faculty or staff. Services Members of the university community are generally aware of OPS and the services it provides on campus. Those least likely to be aware of OPS services are students, males, and non-whites.
