An expensive private Catholic university located in Portland, Oregon, well known for its competitive nursing program. It's kind of a waste to attend such an overly expensive school if you don't major in nursing. The University of Portland is more academic based, don't come here if you are looking to party often or watch football games. The school doesn't have a football team, but instead prides itself in soccer, especially the women's team. Famous soccer players such as U.S Women's National Soccer Team Megan Rapinoe went here.

A private Catholic university that prides themselves on ethical behaviors and safety. Sadly, these values are only followed when it applies when asking for donations and recruiting students. The everyday workings of the University includes covering up misogynistic rants at the Wally Awards by students (witnessed by the University President who did nothing, hardly surprising), severely under paying employees, allowing bullying and abuse by high ranking employees, disproportionate workloads and believing all employees are easily replaced. Also, the University does their best to minimize publicity on sexual assaults, murders (2001 Murder in Mehling Hall) and crime in general. Keys to various buildings are naturally issued to employees when hired, but are rarely collected properly when the employee leaves the University. Meaning, that the campus is not nearly as secure as administration would like people to believe. In the 2001 murder of Katie Johnson, a master key had been stolen and used. The University failed to change the lock within a reasonable amount of time and the master key was used to access the building where the murder occurred. Also, there is no establish plan of action in the case of an on campus shooter. No plan for safety of students or employees.
The University of Portland loves to pontificate to the public about ethics and safety, but failed to follow their own teachings in regards to the 2018 Wally Awards or the 2001 murder of Katie Johnson.
