How does the Clery Act affect University of Wisconsin-Parkside?

The Clery Act (Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act) requires all colleges and universities that participate in federal financial aid programs to disclose crime statistics and security information annually. The data reported here comes directly from the US Department of Education's OPE Campus Safety and Security Survey.

What is a campus safety score?

The safety score divides 2024 on-campus Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents by enrollment, per 1,000 students. It does not include arrests, disciplinary referrals, fire records, unreported harm, or nearby crime. Lower scores mean fewer included incidents relative to enrollment. Only nonzero scores at campuses with 500 or more students are ranked; a 0.00 score is left unranked.

Campus size vs reported safety rate

Among 37 WI 4-year peers in this comparison, University of Wisconsin-Parkside is larger than 81% and safer-reporting than 47% - 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 University of Wisconsin-Parkside fell from 4 to 1 (-75%). The decrease shows up in Fondling (2 to 0) and 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 University of Wisconsin-Parkside

Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 3 Clery Act categories here: Rape, Fondling and Motor Vehicle Theft. Rape accounts for most of them.

The remaining 8 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.

Cost context

Where University of Wisconsin-Parkside sits on price and outcomes

See Wisconsin's cost ranking

At $11,772, University of Wisconsin-Parkside's reported average net price is cheaper than 21% among 71 Wisconsin colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $16,210.

$11,772
average net price: $16,210
Wisconsin median: 2.1×
six-year earnings to median debt: $10,492
reported income-bracket spread

Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $7,425, while those above $110,000 record $17,917 - roughly 2.4 times as much. A published average of $11,772 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.

Median reported earnings six years after entry are $42,154, roughly 3.6 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.
