By Esther WickhamThe U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights announced Wednesday that San José State University violated Title IX due to policies allowing transgender athletes to compete in women’s sports and use women’s facilities. After concluding its review, OCR determined that SJSU violated Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Female athletes reportedly shared intimate facilities with the transgender student without their knowledge of the student being transgender. What they’re saying: “[W]hen 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. Following the department’s announcement, several female advocacy groups praised the Trump administration’s Title IX enforcement efforts.
