Trump Administration Withholds $175 Million in Federal Funding from University of Pennsylvania Over Trans Women in Sports

AI Summary: The Trump administration is withholding $175 million in federal funding from the University of Pennsylvania because the university allows trans women to compete in women's sports. This action is linked to an investigation into whether Penn violated Title IX regulations, which ensure equal opportunities for women in education and athletics. The withholding of funds is part of a broader move against schools that permit trans women to participate in women’s sports, following a promise made during Trump’s presidential campaign. A senior official hinted that more financial penalties could follow.
