Department of Education Finds San Jose State Violated Title IX Over Transgender Volleyball Player
Following a federal investigation into a transgender volleyball player, the U.S. Department of Education has ordered San José State University to comply with Title IX regulations within 10 days. The university is required to issue a public statement affirming biology-based definitions of sex and separating sports and facilities based on biological sex. The university must also restore athletic records, issue apologies to affected female athletes, and acknowledge the harm caused by allowing a male athlete to compete in women’s volleyball. Failure to comply could result in enforcement action, including a Justice Department lawsuit and loss of federal funding.
