The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sports (TIDES) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that serves as a reference for the gender and racial hiring practices of amateur, collegiate and professional sports leagues. TIDES was established in December 2002 [1] by Dr. Richard Lapchick at the University of Central Florida. The institute researches and publishes a variety of studies, including annual studies or student-athlete graduation rates and racial attitudes in sport as well as the internationally recognized Racial and Gender Report Card (RGRC), an assessment of hiring practices in professional and college sport. The institute also monitors some of the critical ethical issues in college and professional sport, including the potential for exploitation of student-athletes, gambling, performance-enhancing drugs and violence in sport.
Mission Statement
[edit]At this time TIDES does not have a mission statement.
History
[edit]Dr. Richard Lapchick, a scholar, author and internationally recognized human rights activist and pioneer for racial equality who is acknowledged as an expert of sports issues, began publishing Racial Report Cards in 1992, which would be renamed to Racial and Gender Report Card in 1998, when he still was at Northeastern University.
In 2002, two years after relocating to the University of Central Florida to head the DeVos Sports Business Management Program, Lapchick founded the institute and began publishing RGRC.
Racial and Gender Report Card
[edit]The Racial and Gender Report Card (RGRC), formerly known as the Racial Report Card until 1998, is the Institute's assessment of hiring practices of women and people of color in most of the leading professional and amateur sports and sporting organization in the United States. The report considers the composition- assessed by racial and gender makeup- of players, coaches, and the front office/athletic department employees in sports organization, including the National Basketball Association (NBA), National Football League (NFL), Major League Baseball (MLB), Major League Soccer (MLS), and the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA), as well as in collegiate athletic departments.
