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 Charles R Drew University of Medicine and Science rose from 1 to 2 (+100%). The increase shows up in Rape (0 to 1).
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 Charles R Drew University of Medicine and Science
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 3 Clery Act categories here: Burglary, Aggravated Assault and Rape.
The remaining 8 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Arson, Fondling, 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 Charles R Drew University of Medicine and Science sits on price and outcomes
At $35,558, Charles R Drew University of Medicine and Science's reported average net price is cheaper than 89% among 492 California colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $20,161.

Price barely responds to income at this institution. Families under $30,000 report $35,636 and those above $110,000 report $37,834, a difference of just $2,198. Where the curve is this flat, need-based aid is doing little of the work and the sticker figure is close to what most families actually pay.
Six-year median earnings of $60,939 run about 1.7 times the annual net price. The margin is real but narrow, so how many years of price a student actually pays matters a great deal here.
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.
