“Reporting and tracking gives colleges a powerful incentive to do better, to make their streets and dorms safer and to stop any kind of negligence or recklessness. It’s a powerful deterrent,” Blumenthal said.

The American College Health Association says accidents are the leading cause of fatalities on college campuses.
