(The Center Square) - In a victory for President Donald Trump, the University of Pennsylvania agreed Tuesday to resolve what the Department of Education deemed to be a violation of Title IX by allowing a transgender woman to participate in women’s swimming. The violation occurred prior to Trump’s executive order “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” issued in February of this year, with swimmer Lia Thomas winning the 2022 NCAA Division I Championship for the 500-yard freestyle. Thomas was in compliance with NCAA rules at the time. To resolve the issue, Penn has agreed to apologize to the female swimmers who competed alongside Thomas and restore any titles, awards, or records impacted by her wins.
