I think you have it backwards
The actual number of cases is probably one of the smallest per capita in the world, because it is BYU.
However, if you are talking about under-reporting, which is a problem everywhere, I would say BYU has been one of the worst, because almost no where else do you have the additional hurdle of a strictly enforced HC where students are expelled for just having sex, or several of the other honor code breaking activities, like drinking alchohol/drug use, that often contribute to higher incidences of sexual assault.
Until today, there was a huge barrier to reporting a sexual assault, in addition to all the other typical barriers that victims experience, not withstanding that perpetrators were using the HC as a weapon against their victims to not report, as was mentioned in the newspaper articles.
In 2006 & 2011 BYU reported 0 sexual assault cases, with 30K students, you have to have your head buried pretty deep in the sand if you think that is a reflection of reality.

I don't think so - here's why. I don't think anyone knew of the old policy/procedure. Accordingly, if you don't
