Dataset: Presents statistics on participation in intercollegiate sports teams by sport activity and gender. The data are segmented by participation on men’s teams, men’s teams and coed teams, women’s teams, or women’s teams and coed teams. Data are reported for postsecondary institutions in the United States that participate in financial aid programs and that have intercollegiate varsity sports programs.
Any coeducational postsecondary institution in the United States that participates in the federal student financial assistance programs and has an intercollegiate athletic program is required by the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, 20 USC 1092(g) (also known as the Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act [EADA]), to participate in the annual EADA data collection. Through this survey, data are collected by the US Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education on athletic participation, staffing, and revenues and expenses, by men's, women's, and coed varsity teams. The Department of Education uses this information in preparing its required report to the Congress on gender equity in intercollegiate athletics. EADA survey results are also made publicly available and are intended to help make prospective students aware of a school's commitment to providing equitable athletic opportunities for male and female students. The dataset presented here includes data on all reporting institutions by school year for a consecutive twelve-month period of time designated by the institution for the purposes of the EADA Report. (Note that the year indicated refers to the beginning of the school year: eg, 2011 represents the period 2011-2012.)
