Subject: Equities in Athletics Report [Report cite 34 CFR 668.47]
The Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act (EADA) is designed to make prospective students and prospective student-athletes aware of an institution of higher education’s commitment to providing equitable athletic opportunities for its men and women students. The EADA requires the disclosure of information about varsity teams and the financial resources and personnel that the school dedicates to those teams.
Any coeducational institution of higher education that participates in Title IV, the federal student aid program, and has an intercollegiate athletics program, must comply with the EADA by preparing an annual report, officially called The Report on Athletic Program Participation Rates and Financial Support Data.
The U.S. Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education, hosts the website that displays all college/university EADA Reports, which can be accessed at http://ope.ed.gov/athletics. Questions regarding the EADA Report or the information contained in this document may be addressed to the Ranger College Athletics Department or Gaylyn Mendoza at 254-647-3234.
