Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 20 UT 4-year peers in this comparison, Western Governors University is larger than 100% and safer-reporting than 63% - the larger, safer-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.

Enrollment scale
How campus size shapes the safety figures
With 210,208 enrolled students, Western Governors University is the 1st largest of the 5,585 institutions in this dataset with a reported enrollment, ahead of 5,584 of them. Closest same-state same-level scored peers by enrollment: Utah Valley University (0.77/1k); University of Utah (15.02/1k); Brigham Young University (1.76/1k); Weber State University (1.28/1k); Utah State University (1.00/1k); Southern Utah University (1.10/1k); Utah Tech University (1.75/1k); Ensign College (1.19/1k).

Cost context
Where Western Governors University sits on price and outcomes
At $12,548, Western Governors University's reported average net price is cheaper than 22% among 45 Utah colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $18,659.

- reported income-bracket spread
Price barely responds to income at this institution. Families under $30,000 report $12,064 and those above $110,000 report $12,734, a difference of just $670. 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.
Six years after enrolling, the median former student who received federal aid reports $69,572 - about 5.5 times one year of the reported net price here. On that ratio the cost is recovered quickly.
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.
