Reporting-period change
What changed in 2024
Tuskegee University increased from 1 to 7 reported on-campus incidents between the 2023 and 2024 reporting years in the U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey.
This is a change in reported incidents, not a measure of individual safety. Enrollment, reporting practice, and category coverage can affect the count.

Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 32 AL 4-year peers in this comparison, Tuskegee University is larger than 55% and safer-reporting than 39% - the larger, higher-reporting quadrant. Axes are within-sample percentiles so outliers share the same frame; a higher safety percentile means a lower Clery incidents-per-1,000 rate.

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 Tuskegee University rose from 1 to 7 (+600%). The increase shows up in Burglary (0 to 5), Aggravated Assault (0 to 1) and Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter (0 to 1). Falling over the same period: Motor Vehicle Theft (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 Tuskegee University
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 6 Clery Act categories here: Burglary, Aggravated Assault, Fondling, Motor Vehicle Theft, Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter and Rape.
The remaining 5 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Arson, Incest, Negligent Manslaughter and Robbery. 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 Tuskegee University sits on price and outcomes
At $35,013, Tuskegee University's reported average net price is cheaper than 98% among 65 Alabama colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $15,258.
- $35,013
- average net price

- Alabama median

- six-year earnings to median debt

- reported income-bracket spread
Price barely responds to income at this institution. Families under $30,000 report $34,324 and those above $110,000 report $36,778, a difference of just $2,454. Where the curve is this flat, need-based aid is doing little of the work and the sticker figure is close to what most families actually pay.
Median earnings six years after entry ($38,332) are less than 1.1 years of the reported net price. That is a thin margin, and it is the figure worth pressing the school on before enrolling.
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.
