University of Utah Reports 146 Rapes in 2024 Clery Data With Most From One Relationship

Clery rules count incidents individually, including retroactive reports, which officials say drives the totals.

Overview

  • The university said 110 reports came from a multiple‑month intimate‑partner case in campus housing during 2022–23, disclosed to police about a year later; both students have since graduated.
  • The reporting student asked for support services and did not pursue prosecution, according to the university’s Clery compliance official.
  • Clery accounting logs each alleged assault separately and includes reports made to any campus office without requiring criminal charges or convictions.
  • Related categories increased in 2024, including 83 fondling cases (51 in hospitals and clinics) and 131 stalking cases, university data show.
  • A spring climate survey of 1,966 students found 22% reported stalking since enrolling and 15% reported intimate‑partner violence, while early postings from SLCC, Snow College and USU also show higher rape reports.
