           SUMMARY  :  Declares March as Campus Safety Month in California 
          and encourages citizens to visit the Internet Web site of the 
          California Postsecondary Education Commission to view public 
          safety information about public and private colleges and 
          universities.  Specifically,  this resolution  makes the following 
          legislative findings:

          1)California public and private colleges and universities will 
            serve over 2.7 million students; and, these institutions have 
            a responsibility to protect students and the nearby 
            communities 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 four 
            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.
