The data from each school’s Clery report (required for title IX compliance) in 2014 (latest date reported for Tufts) does not support the perception that sexual assault is more of a problem at Tufts. In fact it strongly suggests the opposite.

Sex Offenses, forcible Amherst 9, Tufts 14
Sex offenses, non-forcible Amherst 3, Tufts 0
Undergrad Students Amherst 1800, Tufts 5200
% forcible Amherst .50, Tufts .23
% non-forcible Amherst .17, Tufts 0
% total Amherst .67, Tufts .23

The Tufts data is from the Medford/Somerville Campus. Tufts’ downtown campus (Medical, Dental, Nutrition and Biomed grad schools) reported an additional 11 forcible offenses. The Grafton campus (Vet school) reported no offenses.
