necessary under section 485 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as
amended, with the goal of increasing transparency surrounding
college athletics for student, prospective students, parents,
employees and the general public. The survey is a collection tool
to compile the annual data on college athletics. The data collected
from the individual institutions by ED and is made available to the
public through the Equity in Athletics Data Analysis Cutting Tool
as well as the College Navigator.
