Trump reduces $ 175 million in a university financing over a transgender athlete on a swim team
Trump’s administration has suspended about $ 175 million of federal funding for the University of Pennsylvania for the participation of a transgender athlete in her swim program, the White House announced on Wednesday.
The Ivy League School faced an investigation into the education department focused on its swimming program. This investigation was published last month immediately after US President Donald Trump signed an executive command intended for banning transgender athletes to compete in maiden and women’s sports.
However, the federal money that was suspended from a separate review of the university discretion, the White House announced. He came from the Ministry of Defense and the Department of Health and Human Services.
A spokesman Penna said the school did not receive any notice or details of the action.
“It is important, however, noted that Penn has always followed NCAAA [National Collegiate Athletic Association] and Ivy League policy regarding the participation of students in athletic teams, “said spokesman Ron Ozio.
“We have been in the past and we remain fully in accordance with the regulations that relate not only to Penn, but also all our peer NCAA and Ivy League institutions.”
The Penn investigation, opened by the Civic Rights Office of the Department of Education, focused on Lia Thomas, who swam in the school women’s team and was the first open transgender athlete to win the title of Division and 2022.
The Agency also opened the Volleyball Reviews of San Jose State University and Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association.
The transgender people in the US say they are concerned about what will come after President Donald Trump signed an executive order, saying that his government recognizes only two sexes assigned at birth.
