The Trump administration claims San José State University in California violated federal law by allowing a transgender woman to play on the women's volleyball team.

The Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights made the announcement Wednesday. In February, it opened an investigation into San José State, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association for potential violations of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibits sex discrimination in educational programs that receive federal funding.

"SJSU caused significant harm to female athletes by allowing a male to compete on the women's volleyball team — creating unfairness in competition, compromising safety, and denying women equal opportunities in athletics, including scholarships and playing time, Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Kimberly Richey said in a press release, misgendering the trans woman. "Even worse, when female athletes spoke out, SJSU retaliated — ignoring sex-discrimination claims while subjecting one female SJSU athlete to a Title IX complaint for allegedly 'misgendering' the male athlete competing on a women's team. This is unacceptable. We will not relent until SJSU is held to account for these abuses and commits to upholding Title IX to protect future athletes from the same indignities."
