“SJSU’s policies allowing males to compete in women’s sports and access female-only facilities deny women equal educational opportunities and benefits”
Is Linda McMahon the greatest Education Secretary ever? She is so on top of this stuff.

Ed Sec McMahon threatens SJSU federal funding over Title IX violations
The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights recently threatened to rescind funding from San Jose State University after becoming locked in a stalemate with the school over its Title IX violations.
On Jan. 28, the OCR issued a press release announcing that it found that SJSU was not in compliance with Title IX over its policies related to transgender-identifying athletes.
“OCR concluded that SJSU’s policies allowing males to compete in women’s sports and access female-only facilities deny women equal educational opportunities and benefits,” the letter stated.
In the letter, Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Kimberly Richey noted that the school caused female athletes “significant harm” through its policies by “creating unfairness in competition, compromising safety, and denying women equal opportunities in athletics, including scholarships and playing time.”
“Even worse when female athletes spoke out, SJSU retaliated—ignoring sex-discrimination claims while subjecting one female SJSU athlete to a Title IX complaint for allegedly ‘misgendering’ the male athlete competing on a women’s team,” Richie continued. “This is unacceptable. We will not relent until SJSU is held to account for these abuses and commits to upholding Title IX to protect future athletes from the same indignities.”
Campus Reform previously reported that the department then offered the school a resolution to settle the violations. The resolution would require the school to restore female athletes’ records and issue them personalized apology letters, among other terms.
Negotiations related to the resolution appear to have fallen through, however, as Secretary of Education Linda McMahon posted a Notice of Impasse to X on March 11.
According to the notice, SJSU “acknowledged receipt of the Letter of Findings and proposed resolution agreement,” and was encouraged the following day to negotiate and respond to the proposal by March 6.
University President Cynthia Teniente-Matson issued a statement on March 6, however, stating the school “informed OCR that the University cannot and will not agree to the terms of the Proposed Resolution Agreement” because it believes “OCR’s findings aren’t grounded in the facts or the law.”
