The Trump administration has suspended $175 million in funding to the University of Pennsylvania due to its transgender sports policies, the White House announced on Wednesday. The move is part of the administration’s broader effort to push schools to comply with its stance on gender and athletics.
The decision has sparked debate, with supporters arguing it upholds fairness in women’s sports, while critics see it as an attack on LGBTQ+ rights and academic independence. The university has not yet responded to the funding cut.
