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. ” “Little girls who look up to Riley Gaines and Paula Scanlan can find hope in today’s action – the Trump Administration will not allow male athletes to invade female private spaces or compete in female categories,” Craig Trainor, the Education Department’s acting assistant secretary for civil rights, said in a statement.
