The University of Pennsylvania will strip trans-identified swimmer Lia (Will) Thomas of his medals and apologize to female swimmers who were forced to compete against him in women's competitions.

The U.S. Department of Education announced on Tuesday that it had reached an agreement with the University of Pennsylvania after concluding that the university had violated Title IX policies by allowing Thomas, a man who identifies as a woman, to compete in women's swimming competitions.

UPenn reached a resolution agreement with the Education Department’s Office of Civil Rights to resolve the Title IX violations, which included the university agreeing to “restore to female athletes all individual UPenn Division I swimming records, titles, or similar recognitions which were misappropriated by male athletes allowed to compete in female categories.”
