Hartwick College tied for 36th with three rapes reports each year, and two fondlings in 2017 and one in 2016.
Oneonta (enrollment 6,358) scored more than one per 1,000 students, and Hartwick (1,201) two per thousand.
The local SUNY ties with two other SUNY campuses, Brockport and Geneseo, and Jamestown Community College. Hartwick tied with Robert Wesleyan College Rochester.
Number One on the list was Wells College in Aurora, with 29 rapes reported in 2016 compared to one the year before; two fondlings both years. The 29 translates into 59 per 1,000 at the 488-student college.
