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 Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine held level. The total is unchanged, but the mix behind it is not. Rising: Rape (0 to 2) and Fondling (1 to 2). Falling over the same period: Aggravated Assault (8 to 5).
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 Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 5 Clery Act categories here: Aggravated Assault, Fondling, Motor Vehicle Theft, Rape and Burglary. Aggravated Assault accounts for most of them.
The remaining 6 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Arson, Incest, Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter and Negligent Manslaughter. 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.
