The University of Pennsylvania has agreed to ban transgender athletes from women's sports and revoke titles held by trans alum Lia Thomas as part of a settlement with the U.S. Department of Education. This settlement follows an investigation by the Department of Education, which found UPenn in violation of Title IX for permitting a male athlete to compete in women's sports. The Department's officials emphasized their commitment to upholding Title IX and protecting women's sports at the university and beyond.
"Today's resolution agreement with UPenn is yet another example of the Trump effect in action. Thanks to the leadership of President Trump, UPenn has agreed both to apologize for its past Title IX violations and to ensure that women's sports are protected at the University for future generations of female athletes."
"The Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights issued a statement Tuesday saying its investigation found UPenn violated Title IX by allowing a male to compete in female athletic programs and occupy female-only intimate facilities."
