Title IX

[noumoe]

The Trump administration announced Monday that it has determined the University of Pennsylvania violated federal civil rights laws by allowing transgender athletes to compete in women’s sports. 

The Ivy League school flouted Title IX rules by “denying women equal opportunities” and allowing transgender athletes to “occupy women-only intimate facilities,” the administration said – giving UPenn 10 days to “voluntarily resolve these violations or risk a referral to the US Department of Justice (DOJ) for enforcement proceedings.” 

“UPenn has a choice to make: do the right thing for its female students and come into full compliance with Title IX immediately or continue to advance an extremist political project that violates federal antidiscrimination law and puts UPenn’s federal funding at risk,” Craig Trainor, the Education Department’s acting assistant secretary for civil rights, said in a statement.
