The US Education Department is investigating the University of Pennsylvania and two other entities for potential violations of a federal law prohibiting sex-based discrimination, citing high-profile examples in which transgender women were allowed to participate in female sports.

The investigation into apparent Title IX violations stems from a viral incident last year where a trans student allegedly injured female athletes during a basketball game. The post Department of Education says it will investigate MIAA over transgender athletes appeared first on Boston.

The Department of Education on Thursday announced it will investigate San Jose State University over its women’s volleyball team’s inclusion of a transgender player as a potential violation of Title IX.
