No, the numbers are not based on anything released by the universities. It's the county/parish STD rates.
That makes the study useless. A campus is not a representative sample of the surrounding county.
Their results don't make any sense either. Penn has a much higher STD rate (dumb stat but it's the one their using) and a higher sexual assault rate than Marquette. Any reasonable person would say that should mean Penn has worse overall sexual health than Marquette. The outcomes are worse.

One thing to note with all those private schools on the list is that they are all either in major urban areas (SMU, Vandy, TCU, Marquette, UPenn) or are in horrid shithole towns with a lot of poverty, drugs, and violence (Notre Dame, Duke). If they're using the county/city STD rate as a proxy for the school, then the study isn't worth the paper it was printed on.

Yeah, it's not a very good methodology, and I don't believe this was published anywhere other than the websites posted in this thread, not in any journals.
The discrepancies have to be related to the third part of the number (on campus resources and all the parts that make up that category) for those areas with high STD and sexual assault numbers to rank how they do.
