Canadian Interuniversity Sport
2005 Equity Practices Questionnaire Final Report

In an information gathering and sharing capacity, the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) Equity and Equality Committee asked that each member university describe equity issues and practices in their respective environments. The information gathered creates an understanding of both common and unique equity issues facing the membership. The responses to the questions asked also provide direction to CIS as it continues to strive to be an equity leader in Canadian sport.

The responses of each member university and regional association were summarized individually and then collectively to create a picture of equity in CIS. Because of the open ended-nature of the questions and the variation in the depth of responses some interpretation and generalizations were made. Forty-three universities completed the questionnaire providing an 86% response rate. All percentages stated are based on the number of responses received and are believed to be representative of the membership. While the importance of equity in university athletics is universally recognized, differences were reported in the statements and actions shared by the forty-three universities and one regional association that completed the questionnaire.
