Trump admin pauses $175M in federal funding to UPenn over inclusion of trans athletes in women’s sports

The Trump administration paused $175 million in federal funding to the University of Pennsylvania over its inclusion of transgender athletes in women’s sports, FOX Business exclusively reported on Wednesday morning.
The Ivy League university now stands to risk losing all of its federal funding amid an investigation into potential Title IX violations.
A senior administration official told FOX Business that the administration has paused $175 million in federal funding. This did not account for UPenn’s total federal funding, which the university previously reported last year was around $1 billion.
The pause is not a direct result of the investigation into UPenn, which the Department of Education announced a day after the president signed the "Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports" executive order on Feb. 5.
Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Craig Trainor said in a statement provided by the department last month that three institutions would be investigated for suspected Title IX violations.
In addition to UPenn, San Jose State University, which made headlines in the fall after several schools refused to play the women’s volleyball team because of a trans athlete on the roster, and the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association are also being investigated for suspected violations.

Oh H Yah!
I bet this wannabe woman won’t be on the roster long.
I doubt the college administration’s Leftist ideology isn’t worth 175 million dollars to them.
Even when they have billions in their bank accounts.
Spending other people’s money is what these people live for.

University of Pennsylvania has a $22.8 BILLION endowment - that’s BILLION.

Insanity since the Days of Lot in Genesis chapter 19
The Godless Reprobate Democrats doing the work of their lord and master Satan - quite literally - at every opportunityAS I HAVE BEEN SAYING There is a determined effort to normalize this all over the world 🌏🌎🌍.
I am encouraging people not to attend nor support this stuff.
DEMOCRATS pervert and destroy
everything that is good and normalJust like those blindly following a false prophet
preaching a 'post-Christian' America

The fact that this is the first reaction to every single news item regarding a Trump action tells us what we and Trump are up against. There is going to be a showdown. Remember we are only two months in, so don’t be surprised if it hasn’t come to a head yet, but it will. One way or another the judges are going to learn that they do not run the national government, the elected President does.

To: hanamizu; All
Trump said he would not ever disobey a court order so his Presidency is pretty well cooked as it relates to domestic policy that isn’t tax cuts which is still basically in the hands of Congress. It should be clear to everyone that the Presidency can be “done” by a dementia patient. The country is on auto pilot.
