Reporting-period change
What changed in 2024
University of the Virgin Islands increased from 1 to 3 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.
See national reporting-year changesWhat changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at University of the Virgin Islands rose from 1 to 3 (+200%). The increase shows up in Fondling (0 to 1), Motor Vehicle Theft (0 to 1) and Robbery (0 to 1). Falling over the same period: Rape (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 University of the Virgin Islands
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 4 Clery Act categories here: Rape, Fondling, Motor Vehicle Theft and Robbery.
The remaining 7 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Arson, Burglary and Incest. 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.
