How does the Clery Act affect California Institute of the Arts?

The Clery Act (Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act) requires all colleges and universities that participate in federal financial aid programs to disclose crime statistics and security information annually. The data reported here comes directly from the US Department of Education's OPE Campus Safety and Security Survey.

What is a campus safety score?

The safety score divides 2024 on-campus Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents by enrollment, per 1,000 students. It does not include arrests, disciplinary referrals, fire records, unreported harm, or nearby crime. Lower scores mean fewer included incidents relative to enrollment. Only nonzero scores at campuses with 500 or more students are ranked; a 0.00 score is left unranked.

Campus size vs reported safety rate

Among 37 CA 4-year peers in this comparison, California Institute of the Arts is larger than 81% and safer-reporting than 25% - the larger, higher-reporting quadrant. Axes are within-sample percentiles so outliers share the same frame; a higher safety percentile means a lower Clery incidents-per-1,000 rate.

Sample of 12 campuses from the plot (sorted by enrollment). Source: U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey + IPEDS enrollment. Rate = on-campus Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students; lower is safer-reporting, not a personal-risk forecast.

What changed between 2023 and 2024

Reported on-campus incidents at California Institute of the Arts rose from 0 to 2. The increase shows up in Fondling (0 to 2).

This describes reported incidents, not crime. Clery counts move with reporting policy, awareness campaigns and how a campus staffs its security authorities, so a rise can reflect better capture of reports and a fall can reflect worse capture. One year of movement at a single campus is not a trend.

What actually gets reported at California Institute of the Arts

Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 3 Clery Act categories here: Fondling, Burglary and Rape. Fondling accounts for most of them.

The remaining 8 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Arson, Incest and Motor Vehicle Theft. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.

Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Cost context

Where California Institute of the Arts sits on price and outcomes

See California's cost ranking

At $46,080, California Institute of the Arts's reported average net price is cheaper than 95% among 492 California colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $20,161.

$46,080
average net price: $20,161
California median: 1.1×
six-year earnings to median debt: $32,187
reported income-bracket spread

Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $26,686, while those above $110,000 record $58,873 - roughly 2.2 times as much. A published average of $46,080 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.

Median earnings six years after entry ($28,018) are less than one year of the reported net price. That is a thin margin, and it is the figure worth pressing the school on before enrolling.

Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
