U.S. Department of Education<\/a>\u2018s assistant secretary for civil rights, said in a statement Tuesday. \u201cWe will not relent until SJSU is held to account for these abuses and commits to upholding Title IX to protect future athletes from the same indignities.\u201d<\/p>\nSan Jose State, which never publicly acknowledged a transgender athlete played on the team because the player did not come out publicly, did not immediately respond Tuesday morning to requests for comment. Title IX prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs.<\/p>\n
In its news release, the Department of Education said that to resolve the Title IX violations, San Jose would be required to issue a public statement to the university community that it will will adopt \u201cbiology-based definitions of the words \u2018male\u2019 and \u2018female\u2019 and acknowledge that the sex of a human \u2014 male or female \u2014 is unchangeable.\u201d<\/p>\n
It also requires the university to separate sports and \u201cintimate\u201d facilities \u201cbased on biological sex,\u201d restore to all individual athletic records and titles \u201cmisappropriated by male athletes competing in women\u2019s categories,\u201d and issue a personalized letter of apology to each female athlete for \u201callowing her participation in athletics to be marred by sex discrimination,\u201d as well as to any athlete on a team that forfeited.<\/p>\n
