How does the Clery Act affect Inver Hills Community College?

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 29 MN 2-year peers in this comparison, Inver Hills Community College is larger than 54% and safer-reporting than 11% - 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 Inver Hills Community College rose from 0 to 4. The increase shows up in Burglary (0 to 3) and Fondling (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 Inver Hills Community College

Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 2 Clery Act categories here: Burglary and Fondling. Burglary accounts for most of them.

The remaining 9 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 Inver Hills Community College sits on price and outcomes

See Minnesota's cost ranking

At $11,636, Inver Hills Community College's reported average net price is cheaper than 19% among 80 Minnesota colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $16,863.

$11,636
average net price: $16,863
Minnesota median: 3.1×
six-year earnings to median debt: $6,899
reported income-bracket spread

Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $9,373 for families reporting under $30,000 against $16,272 above $110,000, a difference of $6,899. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $11,636 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.

Median reported earnings six years after entry are $43,586, roughly 3.7 times a year of net price. That is a workable ratio, though it says nothing about how long the programme takes to finish. Just 22% complete within six years. A completion rate this low means the typical enrolled student leaves without the credential, and cost figures should be read in that light.

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.
