The Trump administration has halted about $175 million in federal funding for the University of Pennsylvania, linked to concerns over a transgender athlete's participation on the women's swimming team.

The funding suspension, however, is part of a broader review by the federal government and is not directly associated with the ongoing probe of the NCAA guidelines on transgender athletes.
