The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics has announced a policy that essentially bans transgender athletes from women's sports.
The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, the governing body for mostly small colleges, announced a policy Monday that all but bans transgender athletes from competing in women's sports.
"With the exception of competitive cheer and competitive dance, the NAIA created separate categories for male and female participants," the NAIA said."Each NAIA sport includes some combination of strength, speed and stamina, providing competitive advantages for male student-athletes. As a result, the NAIA policy for transgender student-athletes applies to all sports except for competitive cheer and competitive dance, which are open to all students.
The Biden administration originally planned to release a new federal Title IX rule - the law forbids discrimination based on sex in education - addressing both campus sexual assault and transgender athletes. But earlier this year, the department decided to split them into separate rules, and the athletics rule now remains in limbo even as the sexual assault policy moves forward.
