On-campus rape, stalking, hate crimes and arson all increased from 2022 to 2023, according to the University’s 2024 Annual Security Report.
Instances of nonconsensual sexual contact and stalking increased in the 2022-2023 academic year, with that increase being partially attributed to lower instances during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the University.
“Overall, it’s increased reporting from everyone on campus,” Cornell University Police Chief David Honan told The Sun. Honan attributed some of the uptick in reporting numbers to increased data from campus security authorities, who are obligated to inform CUPD when violations or crimes occur.
