The Department of Public Safety (DPS) in collaboration with the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment, is currently conducting an online survey to learn from campus community members about their experiences with and perspectives on public and campus safety. The aggregated survey results will be used to assess Syracuse University’s campus safety processes and protocols and make necessary changes based on the feedback.
Student, faculty and staff input is very important to DPS. The survey has been open for over a week, and hundreds of surveys have been completed so far. But we would like to collect more responses to have a fuller understanding of campus experiences and concerns.
It is a busy time in the semester, and we appreciate you taking a few minutes to respond. Please check your inbox for a DPS survey reminder email where you will find a direct link to the survey.
The survey is open through Monday, April 22, and takes approximately 5-15 minutes to complete depending on your personal experience. Responses are anonymized and collected in Qualtrics by Institutional Effectiveness; only aggregated data will be provided to DPS. If you have any questions about the survey process or require a Word version of the survey, please contact iea@syr.edu.
DPS looks forward to learning how it can enhance efforts to provide a safe and welcoming community for all.
