Not exactly a buried lede, but...

You have probably read about a recent sexual assault in a UCLA dorm room. At the end of the LA Times article describing the resulting arrest, we read this:

...UCLA has had more sexual assaults reported than any other school in the 10-campus University of California system — 36 between April 2023 and March 2024. Overall, 1,975 crimes were reported at UCLA during that period — larceny and theft being the largest category, with 441 reports, UC systemwide data show. The vast majority of arrests involved suspects who were not affiliated with the university of about 46,680 students.

UC Berkeley, the system’s second-largest university, with about 45,700 students, had 14 reports of sexual assaults among 2,222 crimes reported between April 2023 and March 2024. Larceny, theft and motor vehicle theft were the largest issues there, accounting for 1,000 reported crimes; most suspects also were not affiliated with the campus.

UC Santa Barbara had 18 reports of sexual assault, UC Davis 14 and UC Irvine 13 between April 2023 and March 2024. Nine were reported in that period at UC Santa Cruz, seven at UC Riverside, six at UC San Diego, and five each at UC Merced and UC San Francisco.
