The University of Pennsylvania has bowed to Donald Trump's Department of Education (DOE) by agreeing to resolve alleged Title IX violations over transgender former Quakers swimmer Lia Thomas.
The DOE announced Tuesday that Penn is adopting strict definitions for male and female competitors under White House guidelines and will erase Thomas from the school's record books. Furthermore, swimmers impacted by Thomas' inclusion in women's NCAA competitions will receive a personal apology from Penn and be retroactively awarded records and titles.
The Ivy League institution's decision comes after the Trump administration suspended $175 million in federal funding to Penn – money that had been earmarked and funded through the Defense Department and the Department of Health and Human Services.
'Penn remains committed to fostering a community that is welcoming, inclusive, and open to all students, faculty, and staff,' University of Pennsylvania president J. Larry Jameson said in a statement. 'I share this commitment, just as I remain dedicated to preserving and advancing the University’s vital and enduring mission. We have now brought to a close an investigation that, if unresolved, could have had significant and lasting implications for the University of Pennsylvania.'
Thomas won a national title as a woman in the 500 free while tying for fifth in the 200 free at the 2022 NCAA Finals with Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines, who has since become the face of the movement to ban trans athletes from female sports.
The NCAA previously allowed each sports to govern transgender inclusion, generally deferring to national governing bodies or International Olympic criteria.
