Federal investigation finds San Jose State violated Title IX by allowing trans athlete to competeSAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) -- San Jose State University is back in the spotlight over the controversy involving a transgender athlete. On Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Education said the school violated Title IX by allowing a transgender athlete to compete on its women's volleyball team from 2022 to 2024. Public universities in California are required to follow state civil rights laws, and San Jose State is doing exactly that and hopefully continue to do so," Reyes Salinas said. "I think San Jose State has some apologies to issue and maybe some warnings that they need to heed going forward," said Alexandra Macedo, District 33 assemblymember. San Jose State University said in a statement it is "in the process of reviewing the Department's findings and proposed resolution."
