In 2008, SIUC had four times as many aggravated assaults as did Eastern Illinois University, despite SIUC only having 3000 more students, and EIU only had 22 burglaries, compared with the 163 reported at SIUC.
Update: There are significant discrepancies with the rates cited in the EIU editorial and the statistics published by SIUC. I count 10 total reported instances of aggravated assault at SIUC in 2008, compared to 6 instances at EIU and 84 burglaries, compared to 43 at EIU. If you just look at on campus incidents only, there are 22 burglaries at EIUC, compared to 43 at SIUC and 6 instances of aggravated assault on campus at SIUC compared to 4 at EIU. D. Gorton has an email to the editor of the EIU paper asking for the source of his statistics.
