Syracuse University safety composite

Syracuse University scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 37% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 2%), 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).

Syracuse University has more employees than the Academies, college or university median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.5.
