The Trump administration has suspended $175 million in federal funding for the University of Pennsylvania over the issues surrounding transgender athlete Lia Thomas and her role in the swimming program. This decision comes amid an Education Department investigation, announced after Trump signed an executive order attempting to ban transgender athletes from competing in women's sports. The funding suspension was part of a review of discretionary federal funds from the Defense Department and Health and Human Services, while the university maintains it has complied with all applicable regulations.
