"The Trump Administration's Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights today announced that San José State University policies allowing transgender female athletes to compete in women's sports violated Title IX, the 1972 law aimed at ending discrimination against women in U.S. schools and colleges. The decision ended a year-long investigation of complaints by a former coach and several athletes that accused San Jose State University's volleyball team of sex discrimination."
"In a proposed "resolution agreement," San Jose State was told it could avoid penalties if it, among other things, issued "a public statement to the SJSU community that SJSU will adopt biology-based definitions of the words 'male' and 'female' and acknowledge that the sex of a human - male or female - is unchangeable." As of this afternoon, San Jose State had not publicly responded to the Education Department's ruling or the demands."
Federal civil-rights officials ruled that San Jose State University policies allowing transgender female athletes to compete in women's sports violated Title IX. The ruling closed a year-long probe launched after complaints from a former coach and several players alleging sex discrimination on the women's volleyball team. A proposed resolution requires SJSU to issue a public statement adopting biology-based definitions of 'male' and 'female' and to acknowledge that human sex is unchangeable to avoid penalties. The Department did not use the word 'transgender,' instead saying the university allowed 'males to compete in women's sports and access female-only facilities.' The inquiry followed a presidential executive order and an NCAA ban.
