The Trump administration has given San Jose State University 10 days to change its policy on transgender athletes or face legal action and possibly lose federal funding. The U.S. Education Department gave the school the ultimatum in a letter on Tuesday. The department found that San Jose State violated Title IX by letting a transgender athlete play on the women’s volleyball team. Assistant Secretary Kimberly Richey says the department offered options to resolve the violations, including separating athletes by the administration's definitions of male and female. The California State University system and San Jose State say Title IX prohibit discrimination against transgender individuals.
