The Trump administration has released $175 million in previously frozen federal funds to the University of Pennsylvania — but only after the university agreed to bar transgender athletes from competing on women’s teams. As part of the agreement, Penn adopted a biology-based definition under Title IX, removed Lia Thomas from official school records, and issued a formal apology to female athletes who competed against her. This follows Trump’s executive order titled “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” reigniting nationwide controversy over transgender inclusion in athletics. The move raises critical questions for universities, student-athletes, and the future interpretation of Title IX.
