Penn has agreed to ban trans women from women's sports, resolving a civil rights case that centered around swimmer Lia Thomas, the Department of Education said Tuesday.

The University of Pennsylvania has caved to demands from the Department of Education (ED), agreeing to ban trans people from playing on sports teams that align with their gender identities. In doing so, they have also stripped trans swimmer and Penn alumna Lia Thomas of the titles she won while competing at the school.

The Education Department accused the Ivy League institution of violating Title IX by allowing a trans swimmer to compete on the women's team.
