Page 1: The structure tree contains two H1 elements, but the text '2018 College Annual Security Report' is a single logical heading.; Page 6: The structure tree is completely incorrect for a document containing a table. It flattens the entire content into a long list of generic

tags instead of using a proper

structure (, , ,

,	).; Page 11: The structure tree is completely flat, containing only a single 'Div' with a long list of 'P' tags. It fails to identify headings (e.g., 'Accurate and Prompt Reporting...', 'Professional Counselors', 'PROGRAMS REGARDING SECURITY PROCEDURES AND PRACTICES', etc.) as semantic heading elements (H1-H6).
