Study: Penn State Had Most Sex Offenses of All Colleges
All of the data came from the schools themselves; it is information they are required to report under the Clery Act.
It's a dubious distinction: Penn State has the most forcible sex offenses on campus of any U.S. college.
The data, compiled by The Washington Post, came only from U.S. colleges with enrollments of more than 1,000. All of the data came from the schools themselves; it is information they are required to report under the Clery Act, the Post said.
From 2010-2012, Penn State University Park had a total of 84 forcible sex offenses, the data show. That's a rate of 1.22 per 1,000 students, the Post said.
Private, non-profit Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., had the highest rate of forcible sex offenses, the Post said: 11.39. The school reported 43 forcible sex offenses from 2010 to 2012, and has only 1,580 students.
