The Department of Education (ED) on Wednesday announced that San José State University (SJSU) is in violation of Title IX for allowing transgender-identifying males into female sports and spaces. 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. “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,” she added. On multiple occasions, the male athlete spiked the ball so forcefully that it knocked females on the opposing team to the ground,” ED alleged. Title IX prohibits sex discrimination in education programs and activities as a condition of receiving federal funding.
