Advisory Commission on Gender Equity in Sports

This commission advises the state on the implementation and enforcement of gender equity requirements in sports programs, particularly in publicly funded educational institutions subject to Title IX and comparable state standards. It reviews participation data, resource allocation, and scholarship equity across Hawaii's schools and universities. Recommendations may lead to administrative guidance or legislative action to address documented disparities.

Student athletes in Hawaii's public schools and University of Hawaii system benefit from equitable access to sports programs, facilities, and scholarships. Parents, students, and advocates can engage with the commission to raise concerns about specific programs or systemic inequities.
