A special administration task force formed by President Trump has launched investigations into the University of Maryland and Wagner College after a female athlete, Stephanie Turner, was penalized for refusing to compete against a male who identifies as a female. The team, known as the Title IX Special Investigations Team, launched an investigation into the University of Maryland for allowing the male athlete to compete in a women’s fencing tournament and use women’s facilities. Wagner College is also under investigation for similar allegations.
Stephanie Turner was disqualified from a tournament at the University of Maryland for refusing to compete against Redmond Sullivan, a male athlete who identifies as female. The investigations aim to ensure that colleges follow Title IX regulations and protect female athletes from competing against males and using female facilities.
The Trump administration has been vocal about protecting female athletes from competing against males and has created the Title IX Special Investigations Team to address Title IX complaints. The team is investigating various cases across multiple states to ensure that women’s equal opportunity protections are upheld.
Education Department spokeswoman Julie Hartman emphasized that the Trump administration is dedicated to fighting for women’s rights in sports and will not allow male competitors to strip female athletes of their rightful accolades or subject them to unfair competitions. The executive orders signed by Trump aim to defend women from gender ideology extremism and ensure fair treatment in sports competitions.
