In the last two years, domestic and dating violence under the Violence Against Women Act have dropped to zero. In 2022 there were two instances of domestic violence and three instances of dating violence.

However, three liquor law violation arrests were made off campus in 2023 and 2024. The last on campus arrest was in 2022.
