The University of Pennsylvania has bowed to Donald Trump's Department of Education (DOE) by agreeing to resolve alleged Title IX violations over transgender former Quakers swimmer Lia Thomas. The DOE announced Tuesday that Penn is adopting strict definitions for male and female competitors under White House guidelines, adding that the school will ban trans athletes from women's competitions and erase Thomas from the school's record books. Furthermore, swimmers impacted by Thomas' inclusion in women's NCAA competitions will receive a personal apology from Penn and be retroactively awarded records and titles. 📷: Getty Images #liathomas #upenn #penn #swim #usaswimming #trans #transgender #donaldtrump #sports
