Institute for Doctoral Studies in the Visual Arts

What are the security measures and safety resources available for students at Institute for Doctoral Studies in the Visual Arts?

For IDSVA students, safety planning needs to account for both the Portland base and any in-person residency location. Emergency contacts, reporting procedures, and the institution responsible for on-site response may differ by venue.

Before travel, students should obtain the current residency itinerary and instructions for emergencies, medical needs, and reporting harassment or sexual misconduct. They should also review IDSVA's applicable conduct and reporting policies and ask which office coordinates support when an incident occurs away from Portland. Campus crime disclosures, when applicable, describe reported incidents in defined places and periods; they do not measure every safety risk a traveling student might encounter.
