Penn strikes agreement with Trump administration over trans athletes
Source: Philadelphia Inquirer

Published July 1, 2025, 4:02 p.m. ET

The University of Pennsylvania will send “personalized” letters of apology to its female athletes who felt aggrieved by transgender swimmer Lia Thomas’ participation on their team and restore Penn records and honors they would have won if not for Thomas, as part of a resolution agreement reached with the federal government.

Penn becomes the first Ivy League university to strike a truce with President Donald Trump’s administration —at least on this issue — since it began targeting some of the nation’s elite universities, threatening funding and damaging policy changes if they don’t comply with certain demands.

This country is becoming a very unfree and fascist place. Can't wear what you want and be who you wish to be.

Title IX is "Fascist"?

2. All this conformity to one man? Or to Project 2025?

Or Stephen Miller? Or Heritage?

Why is every institution caving on all things? Will we all wear the same clothing? Socks?

Violating Title IX would have been expensive.

They will all soon realize that nothing will ever be enough. This will only embolden them to push for more and more concessions.

Agreeing to obey Title IX is a "concession"?

No one at UPenn's law school is aware of "ex post facto laws"?

UPenn's decision is puzzling. Is this agreement to have a policy that is school-specific, regardless of future changes to NCAA policy or that "Save Women's Sports" executive order? The article indicates that UPenn would comply with T9 "as interpreted by the Department of Education".

Ummmm ... Title IX has been around for decades. It's hardly an "ex post facto law".

That's not what ex post facto means, DUmmie.

If an activity is deemed unlawful, they can't punish you for actions taken before the determination. But that does not entitle you to keep doing the thing after it was found to be unlawful.

You can be what you want to be. Being what you want to be should not come at the expense of fair competition.

To me, the sadist thing is that there are people in the world who cannot distinguish a man from a woman.

I hear Venezuela and Zimbabwe are beautiful, especially this time of the year.
