           SUMMARY  :   Declares March as Campus Safety Month in California

          legislative findings:

          1)California public and private colleges and universities will 
            serve over 2.7 million students; and these institutions have a

            from violent and property crimes.

          2)California colleges and universities report that 29,000 crimes 
            occurred in 2008, including 688 aggravated assaults, 479 sex 
            offenses, 137 arson crimes, 6,300 property crimes, and 4 
            murders, as reported by the Postsecondary Education 
            Commission.

          3)A coalition of rape crisis centers, known as the California 
            Coalition Against Sexual Assault, has partnered with the 
            California Postsecondary Education Commission, the University 
            of California, the California State University, California 
            Community Colleges and the Association of Independent 
            California Colleges and Universities to promote safe campuses 
            and communities.
