The boards that run Gallaudet University and the other institution with a federal agreement must prepare and send an annual report to the Secretary, the House Committee on Education and Labor, and the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions no later than 100 days after each fiscal year ends. The report must say how many students in the prior academic year enrolled (including first‑time students), graduated, found work, or left without finishing, reported for elementary, secondary, undergraduate, graduate programs, and NTID. The report must also, as far as possible, give data on deaf students from minority backgrounds and on employees: full- and part-time enrollment, completions, where graduates were one year after finishing compared with non‑minority students, who got support services, recruitment activities, job openings and hires, and parent outreach efforts and how many parents were served. It must include summaries of audited financial statements and auditor reports for the University and NTID, federal receipts, expenses by function and unit, how Endowment Program funds (corpus and income) were used and invested, gains or losses (realized and unrealized), changes in investments, and any other information the Secretary asks for.
