The Trump administration has issued a 10-day ultimatum to San Jose State University, California, over federal violations related to its transgender athlete policy. The university was found guilty of violating federal Title IX regulations by allowing a transgender athlete to play on the women’s volleyball team. The Department of Education accused the university of choosing a radical ideology over safety, dignity, and fairness for its own students. The department offered a proposed resolution agreement for the university to resolve the violations, but threatened financial and legal consequences if it did not comply. Since President Donald Trump took office in 2025, he has passed a slew of anti-transgender executive orders, including executive orders that only recognize two sexes, limit gender-affirming treatments for youth, prohibit transgender players from participating in sports, and several investigations into California schools, the California Education Department and the California Interscholastic Federation. The administration has not specified which federal funding the university stands to lose.
