BOSTON, Feb. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- TSG Solutions, Inc. ('TSG') announced today the company was recently awarded a contract by the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education (DHE) to provide consulting services for the newly developed Massachusetts Task Force on Campus Safety and Violence. TSG will assist the Task Force in developing a survey designed to assess existing policies and practices on campus safety and violence prevention in the Commonwealth. The survey will be distributed to each of the public higher education institutions under DHE, which serves 290,000 students annually, and consists of fifteen Community Colleges, nine State Universities, and the five campuses of the University of Massachusetts (UMass).

TSG will also conduct a research study on national best practices in this area.

The result will be an actionable and realistic strategic plan to address these critical issues facing campuses throughout the State.

Santiago, Massachusetts Commissioner of Higher Education.
