Figure 1 is based on the Clery Criminal Offense statistics reported for Main Campus. These offenses include rape, fondling, robbery, aggravated assault burglary, motor vehicle theft and arson. The blue indicates on-campus facilities while red represents student housing. A notable change in offenses is burglary, with six incidents reported in 2018, nine reported in 2019 and two reported in 2020. The sudden decrease in burglary reports is likely due to COVID-19 impacting on-campus living.
