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 Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute rose from 2 to 3 (+50%). The increase shows up in Aggravated Assault (1 to 2) and Rape (0 to 1). Falling over the same period: Fondling (1 to 0).
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 Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 3 Clery Act categories here: Aggravated Assault, Fondling and Rape. Aggravated Assault accounts for most of them.
The remaining 8 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Arson, Burglary, 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 Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute sits on price and outcomes
At $5,181, Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute's reported average net price is cheaper than 23% among 39 New Mexico colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $8,889.
- $5,181
- average net price
- $8,889
- New Mexico median
Six years after enrolling, the median former student who received federal aid reports $22,307 - about 4.3 times one year of the reported net price here. On that ratio the cost is recovered quickly. Just 11% 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.
