Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act

The Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act (EADA) is a U.S. law requiring colleges and universities that receive federal funding to provide information about their athletic programs. Specifically, it mandates that these institutions disclose data on the participation rates of male and female athletes, funding for scholarships, coaching staff, and facilities. This transparency aims to promote gender equity in college athletics, helping to ensure that sports opportunities and resources are fairly allocated between men and women. This information is typically made available in an annual report to the public, allowing for better accountability and evaluation of gender equity in sports programs.
