Your results will be speaking beyond your data

Explanation:

Your aim is to conduct a study that will examine sexual assault and proffer recommendations that will be used by administration to change the policy. This policy change will affect the whole campus and not just some members of campus fraternities. Hence if your idea was to examine sexual assault among campus fraternities, then this result would be ideal, but if you are going to use data for a small sub-section of a population to generalize for all other sub-population, then your result would be speaking beyond your data; meaning your data will be insufficient to come up with a result capable of leading to a policy change.
