32 National Campus Safety Initiative (32 NCSI).
Following the 2007 tragedy at Virginia Tech, survivors and victims’ families joined together to uncover all dimensions of campus safety, and facilitate a forum where national experts could develop best practices and resources relating to campus safety and security.
The result was this confidential, self-paced, online self-assessment program, designed by a team of leading campus safety experts, that colleges and universities can use to better assess themselves across 9 key areas of campus safety, including:
Alcohol and Other Drugs
Campus Public Safety
Emergency Management
Hazing
Mental Health
Missing Students
Physical Security
Sexual Violence, and
Threat Assessment
On August 13, 2015, VTV launched this revolutionary program. Thereafter, in 2017, VTV partnered with NASPA-Student Affairs Administrations in Higher Education—the leading association for the advancement, health, and sustainability of the student affairs profession—to advance 32 NCSI with colleges and universities.
Currently, 32 NCSI is available as an individual self-assessment tool, in addition to being offered as a part of the NASPA P.R.A.C.T.I.C.E.S. self-assessment. The P.R.A.C.T.I.C.E.S. self-assessment incorporates 32 NCSI and focuses on student affairs policies, resources, relationship with academic affairs, compliance, technology, inclusion, community, evidence, and student success.
