In a shocking turn of events, the University of Pennsylvania has announced that they will be following President Trump’s mandate on protecting women’s sports. The Education Department has applauded this decision, stating that it is a step in the right direction for gender equality in sports.
When asked for comment, UPenn President Amy Gutmann had this to say, “We are thrilled to be leading the charge in protecting women’s sports. Our female athletes deserve a level playing field, and we are committed to making sure that happens.”
However, not everyone is on board with this decision. Feminist groups on campus have expressed outrage, with one student, who wished to remain anonymous, stating, “This is ridiculous! Trump has no business dictating what happens in our sports programs. We should be able to compete fairly without government interference.”
But the Education Department disagrees, with Secretary Betsy DeVos stating, “We fully support UPenn’s decision to uphold the integrity of women’s sports. It is important that female athletes have the opportunity to compete against others of the same biological sex.”
In response to the backlash, UPenn has announced that they will be implementing strict guidelines to ensure that only biological females are allowed to compete in women’s sports. This includes mandatory genetic testing for all athletes.
When asked about the testing, a spokesperson for UPenn, who goes by the name of Bob Johnson, said, “We want to make sure that our female athletes are truly female. This testing is necessary to protect the integrity of women’s sports.”
Overall, it seems that UPenn is taking a stand for women’s sports, even if it means ruffling a few feathers. Only time will tell if other universities will follow suit, but for now, it looks like Trump’s mandate is making waves in the world of collegiate athletics.
