handle is hein.gao/gaobackia0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G AO~ United States GAOj~ General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 Human Resources Division B-248451 May 21, 1993 The Honorable Cardiss Collins Chairwoman, Subcommittee on Commerce, 149240 Consumer Protection, and Competitiveness Committee on Energy and Commerce House of Representatives Dear Madam Chairwoman: This responds to your March 1993 letter asking us to respond to concerns raised by a constituent on our report Intercollegiate Athletics: Compensation Varies for Selected Personnel in Athletic Departments (GAO/HRD-92- 121, Aug. 19, 1992). Specifically, the constituent believes that our use of the title head of women's athletic programs was misleading, and that we did not consider the National Collegiate Athletic Association's (NCAA) requirement that each of its member schools designate a senior women's administrator. Also, the constituent believes that the findings of a 13 year longitudinal study--Women in Intercollegiate Sport-- conducted by R. Vivian Acosta and Linda Jean Carpenter would serve as a more accurate reflection of the current status of women in intercollegiate athletics. Our report, for the most part, provided compensation and profile information for five positions commonly found at the NCAA's division I schools,' including the position that we defined as the head of women's programs. Some information we reported was obtained and attributed to the NCAA, but most we developed through a questionnaire mailed to all 298 division I schools. One of the positions for which we wanted information was for the person most responsible for heading women's sports at each school. 'Typically, NCAA member schools with the largest number of athletic programs and facilities belong to division I, smaller schools are in divisions II or III.
