Much earlier in 1971 the UH Commission on the Status of Women was established. The Commission seeks to focus attention on issues the resolution of which will increase women's access to the University's instruction, research and community service programs, improve the academic and professional climate for students and faculty, and make the University a healthier and more rewarding environment in which to study and work. The current priority concerns of the Commission include sexual harassment on campus, systemwide pay equity salary adjustments for women and minority faculty, underrepresentation of women faculty on the University Research Council, and opportunities for women athletes. In addition, SEED coordinates activities for minority student programs in the professional schools including Education, Public Health, Social Work, Engineering, Law, Medicine, Business Administration, Travel Industry Management, and Hawaiian, Asian, and Pacific Studies. It also convenes regular meetings of minority student professionals from all the UH campuses.
