The University of Pennsylvania will revoke medals and records from trans-identified swimmer Lia (Will) Thomas and formally apologize to female athletes who competed against him, following a federal investigation that found the school violated Title IX by allowing Thomas to participate in women’s competitions. The agreement, announced by the U.S. Department of Education, requires UPenn to restore all women’s swimming records and titles to female athletes and end the practice of allowing males in female sports or facilities. Education Secretary Linda McMahon called the decision “a great victory for women and girls,” underscoring renewed protections for women’s sports under current federal policy.
