The White House announced a freeze of $175 million in federal funding to the University of Pennsylvania, citing its policies regarding transgender athletes. This decision aligns with President Trump’s executive order aimed at banning biological males from competing in women’s sports. The announcement came through a social media clip, emphasizing Trump's commitment to protecting female athletes. The University of Pennsylvania, which received over $1 billion in federal funds, was not officially notified about the funding suspension, and officials from the relevant departments did not respond to inquiries.
"President Trump has promised to protect female athletes. He has threatened to rip federal funding away from any university that defies his executive order banning biological males from infiltrating women's sports. And he is doing it."
"The decision comes after Trump last month signed an executive order called 'Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports,' which would cut federal funding from educational institutions that allow transgender women and girls to compete in female sports."
