The Department is taking action to investigate three entities for suspected Title IX violations at San Jose State University, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic in Franklin.

The investigation at MIAA comes after a girls’ high school basketball team in Massachusetts forfeited a game after a male playing for the opposing female team reportedly injured three female players.

The Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association’s handbook states that a “student shall not be excluded from participation on a gender-specific sports team that is consistent with the student’s bona fide gender identity.”
