Abstract: The EADA amended the Higher Education Act of 1965 as amended (HEA) to require coeducational institutions of higher education that participate in any program under Title IV of the HEA and have an intercollegiate athletic program annually to make available upon request a report on institutional financing and student and staff participation in men's and women's intercollegiate athletics. The HEA of 1993 amended the EADA to require additional disclosures, to require that an institution submit its report to the Department of Education, and to require the Department to make the institutions' EADA reports publicly available.

Emergency Justfication: The U.S. Department of Education (the Department) requests that OMB grant an emergency clearance of the Regulations for Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act (EADA). The EADA requires every institution that participates in the Title IV HEA federal student financial assistance programs and has an intercollegiate athletic program to annually prepare a report on athletic participation, staffing, revenue and expenditures by gender, and by men’s and women’s teams. An institution must make the report available to students, potential students and the public upon request. An institution is required to report the information to the Department of Education via our web-based data collection application. Our web data collection historically begins mid-September each year and closes at the end of October. Delays in conducting this web data collection would prevent the Department from providing current and prospective students access to information to assess a school’s commitment to providing equitable athletic opportunities for its men and women students.
