Franklin University reported zero 2024 Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents in the score categories (0.00 per 1,000). Zero in those categories is not a safety proof, other Clery tables and unreported harm can still exist, and zero-report campuses are left unranked against each other.

Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 37 OH 4-year peers in this comparison, Franklin University is larger than 75% and safer-reporting than 86% - the larger, safer-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 actually gets reported at Franklin University
Across 3 reporting years, the only Clery Act category with a recorded on-campus incident here is Motor Vehicle Theft.
The remaining 10 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Arson, Burglary and Fondling. 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 Franklin University sits on price and outcomes
At $25,243, Franklin University's reported average net price is cheaper than 79% among 228 Ohio colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $17,989.

Price barely responds to income at this institution. Families under $30,000 report $24,968 and those above $110,000 report $29,964, a difference of just $4,996. 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 $49,189 run about 1.9 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.
