The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights has accused the University of Pennsylvania of breaching Title IX by allowing men to compete in women's sports teams. To avoid losing federal funding, UPenn must rectify the violations by restoring records and honors to the affected female athletes, notably in swimming competitions.
William "Lia" Thomas, at the heart of this controversy, highlights the ongoing debate around transgender athletes in women's sports. UPenn's compliance with Title IX is under scrutiny, demanding swift corrective action.
