The University of Pennsylvania faced a Title IX violation claim from the Education Department's Office for Civil Rights, relating to its policies on transgender athletes. The investigation, opened over two months ago, references the controversial inclusion of Lia Thomas, a transgender swimmer at Penn. Following significant policy changes under the Trump administration against transgender rights, the OCR shifted its focus towards complaints from cisgender women. Penn has ten days to agree to a settlement that includes affirming Title IX compliance and restoring recognition to female athletes affected by these policies.
The Education Department's Office for Civil Rights announced that the University of Pennsylvania violated Title IX by allowing transgender women to compete in women's sports.
In order to resolve the investigation, Penn must comply with three demands, including issuing a statement that affirms its commitment to Title IX.
