The funding freeze relates to University of Pennsylvania policies on allowing trans women to compete in women's sports.

Summary

The Trump administration has frozen $175 million in federal funding to the University of Pennsylvania over its policies allowing trans women to compete in women’s sports.

A senior official said this is “just a taste” of further action, with UPenn at risk of losing all federal funding due to a Title IX investigation.

Trump signed an executive order on February 5 banning trans women from women’s sports, citing fairness and safety concerns.

Advocacy groups are challenging the move, arguing it discriminates against trans athletes.

    Yes. Very good luck trying to tax endowments without having every billionaire want him dead.

    Not gonna happen.

      What are they going to do about it?

      Edit: let me be clear, would they be angry and want to get revenge, or will they too put pressure on the school to stop woke programs? You can see the easy path here…
