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. 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 staff at aaude@umn.edu. *The Association of American Universities Data Exchange (AAUDE) is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Association of American Universities (AAU), and the views expressed on this website are solely those of AAUDE and not AAU.
