CWA filed\u00a0a\u202fcivil rights complaint<\/a>\u202fin 2024 to the U.S. Department of Education\u2019s Office for Civil Rights against San Jose State University for refusing to protect the rights of female athletes under federal law.\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cSan Jose State University was rightfully found guilty\u00a0for\u00a0allowing men to compete against women, violating Title IX.\u00a0Biological\u00a0realities give men an advantage against women, making it\u00a0inherently unfair for men to compete in women\u2019s sports. We are grateful that our civil rights complaint was\u00a0not ignored,\u00a0and we will not stop fighting for the rights of biological female athletes to have fair competition, safety, and equal opportunities,\u201d said Penny Nance, CEO and President, Concerned Women for America.\u00a0
\u00a0
According to the U.S. Department of Education, \u201cIn addition to privacy concerns, the presence of this male athlete presented a safety concern for female athletes and provided SJSU\u2019s volleyball team with an unfair physical advantage over opposing teams. On multiple occasions, the male athlete\u202fspiked the ball so forcefully<\/a>\u202fthat it knocked females on the opposing team to the ground. During one season, seven all-women\u2019s teams from other universities\u00a0forfeited\u00a0their competitions, accepting a loss rather than competing against a male.\u201d\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cAthletic programs at colleges and universities have an obligation to\u00a0comply with\u00a0Title IX. We hope that today\u2019s decision will reaffirm that\u00a0reality and that female athletes will be protected,\u201d Nance said.\u00a0
