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. Arny B.
