Rush University

With 2,782 enrolled students, this campus sits in the small college bracket, which shapes how raw incident counts should be interpreted.

The most frequently reported category at Rush University is "Motor Vehicle Theft" with 29 cumulative incidents across the reporting window. Compared to 5 peer institutions of similar enrollment size in IL averaging 3.52 incidents per 1,000 students, Rush University reports 339% more incidents per student.

Fire safety data is not separately reported, which typically indicates no on-campus residential housing subject to Clery Act fire reporting requirements. Arrests and disciplinary actions span 9 category-year records, covering liquor law violations, drug law violations, and weapons possession on-campus. No Department of Education Clery Act enforcement actions are recorded against this institution.

Rush University's safety score of 15.46 incidents per 1,000 students places it in the bottom 2.3% of the 3,050 institutions this survey ranks nationally, meaning the reported incident rate here is higher than at nearly all peer institutions in the dataset. As our methodology explains, a higher reported rate can reflect a more active reporting culture rather than a more dangerous campus, and does not by itself indicate the actual likelihood of experiencing a crime.
