Equity in Athletics (EADA) Report
The Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act Survey (EADA) was designed to make current and prospective students and current 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.
For Northwestern Michigan College (NMC), this is a new compliance obligation. In 2021, NMC hosted its inaugural tryouts for males and females with its first and only varsity athletic opportunity, esports. The program, though very successful, is in its early stages.
As required by law, this report was electronically circulated to each NMC student and is maintained on NMC’s publicly accessible webpage for current and prospective students.
