U.S. Halts $175 Million for UPenn Over Trans Athlete
Lia Thomas to compete in 2022.Thomas originally competed for the men’s swim team but competed on the women’s team following her transition.She complied with what NCAA regulations regarding transgender athlete eligibility were at the time, undergoing hormone therapy for a year before competing.In 2022, Thomas began breaking school and meet records, becoming the first transgender woman to win an NCAA swimming championship medal in the Division I women’s 500-yard freestyle event.She also placed fifth in the 200-yard freestyle — tying with Riley Gaines, who has since marshaled her anger over Thomas’ participation into becoming an anti-transgender activist — and eighth in the 100-yard freestyle at the championships.Since taking office, President Trump has promised to direct the Department of Education to investigate schools that allow (or have allowed) transgender athletes to compete on sports teams aligning with their gender identity.Trump made that promise to investigate specific colleges with known cases of transgender athletes while signing an executive order barring transgender females from competing in girls’ and women’s sports.That order threatens to strip funds away from those schools, allowing transgender athletes to participate on female-designated sports teams.The federal money — which came from the Defense Department and the Department of Health and Human Services — was suspended in a separate review of discretionary federal money going to universities, according to a White House official, reports The Associated Press.A senior White House official confirmed to NBC News that the agencies paused the funds specifically because of Thomas’ 2022 participation.
