"The University of Pennsylvania has agreed to ban transgender women from its women's sports teams to resolve a federal civil rights case that found the school violated the rights of female athletes."
"Under the agreement, Penn agreed to restore all individual Division I swimming records and titles to female athletes who lost out to Thomas."
"The Education Department opened its investigation in February and concluded in April that Penn had violated Title IX, a 1972 law forbidding sex discrimination in education."
"Education Secretary Linda McMahon called it a victory for women and girls, stating that they will continue to fight relentlessly to restore Title IX's proper application."
The University of Pennsylvania has reached a voluntary agreement to prohibit transgender women from participating in its women's sports teams, following a federal civil rights investigation that revealed violations of female athletes' rights. This agreement mandates the restoration of individual Division I swimming records and titles to female athletes affected by Lia Thomas, a transgender swimmer. The university must adopt biology-based definitions of male and female and issue apologies to those swimmers. Education Secretary Linda McMahon hailed this resolution as a significant victory for women's rights, reinforcing the enforcement of Title IX.
