In 2015, NASPA–Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education, in partnership with ACPA–College Student Educators International and Stylus, published College in the Crosshairs. The volume included a chapter outlining 10 best practices for college and university administrators to help prevent and respond to incidents of gun violence. Since that publication, mass shootings on campuses and in nearby communities have continued to cause irreparable harm. This research report is designed to explore the extent to which institutions have adopted these best practices in the years since the publication of College in the Crosshairs.
