San Jose State Sues Over Title IX Finding

Officials have said those policies, which include allowing students to compete in the sport that aligns with their gender-not their sex at birth-and to use the corresponding bathrooms and locker rooms, violate Title IX because they deny cisgender female athletes equal opportunities. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 bars sex-based discrimination and harassment, and advocates for trans students say the administration is weaponizing the 53-year-old law to advance its agenda.
