ISU - On Campus: 1.9 TCR = 138% of Academies, college or university BLS 1.4 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

ISU - On Campus safety composite

ISU - On Campus scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 36%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
