ACM SIGAda took a survey of colleges using Ada last year.  The results
(including responses as of Aug. 1986) were published in the Nov/Dec 1986
issue of Ada Letters (pg. 133).  There were about 20 responses.

The results seemed very incomplete, with some major universities that I
thought were involved in Ada (and teaching it) not listed.  But it also
lists some otherwise unknown activities.

If anyone has additional information about activities, I would suggest
informing the SIGAda Education Committee about it.
