San José State, which has never acknowledged whether a transgender athlete played on the team, said it is in the process of reviewing the Education Department’s findings. The Trump administration first targeted San José State after former volleyball co-captain Brooke Slusser joined a lawsuit against the school and the Mountain West Conference, alleging that allowing trans players to compete violates the rights of women. Following Trump’s executive order, the NCAA said it would change its policy to bar trans athletes from women’s sports. Other plaintiffs included players from conference rivals such as the University of Wyoming and Boise State University, which forfeited games against San José State. The Education Department also accused San José State of retaliating against players who spoke out and “subjecting one female SJSU athlete to a Title IX complaint for allegedly ‘misgendering’” a teammate, Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Kimberly Richey said.
