How does the Clery Act affect Oglala Lakota 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.
