The Trump administration has paused giving $175 million to the University of Pennsylvania, alleging that it has allowed males to compete in female sports in violation of Title IX, the White House announced in a social media post on March 19.

Title IX prohibits educational institutions that receive federal funding from discriminating on the basis of gender.
