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 The University of Texas Permian Basin rose from 11 to 12 (+9%). The increase shows up in Fondling (0 to 1) and Motor Vehicle Theft (1 to 2). Falling over the same period: Aggravated Assault (2 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 The University of Texas Permian Basin
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 5 Clery Act categories here: Burglary, Aggravated Assault, Motor Vehicle Theft, Rape and Fondling. Burglary 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.

Cost context
Where The University of Texas Permian Basin sits on price and outcomes
At $12,723, The University of Texas Permian Basin's reported average net price is cheaper than 32% among 337 Texas colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $18,267.

- Texas median
- 2.8×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $5,880
- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $11,930 for families reporting under $30,000 against $17,810 above $110,000, a difference of $5,880. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $12,723 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $50,020, roughly 3.9 times a year of net price. That is a workable ratio, though it says nothing about how long the programme takes to finish.
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.
