The Association of American Universities Data Exchange (AAUDE) is a public service organization whose purpose is to improve the quality and usability of information about higher education. Our membership is comprised of AAU institutions that support this purpose and participate in the exchange of data/information to support decision-making at their institution.

The data exchanged and reports prepared by AAUDE include both public and confidential topics. All information available on this page is public. Other information is exchanged among member institutions on the basis of mutual confidentiality and on the expectation that those who do not provide data will not use them. The organization meets at least once annually to discuss new developments and continuing priorities. For further information, please contact the AAUDE Coordinator.

In January 2008, the Senate Finance Committee requested information about the endowment, financial aid and other practices of institutions with an endowment of at least $500 million. Click here for links to the responses from AAU institutions that have been made available online.
