Amid Trump's crackdown on trans athletes, the Department of Education announced Thursday it's investigating San Jose State for possible Title IX violations.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday at the White House that bars transgender athletes from participating in girls’ and women’s sports, just months after the San Jose State women’s volleyball team found itself in the middle of a national firestorm on the issue.

The Education Department says it is investigating potential civil rights violations at two universities and a high school sports league that allowed transgender athletes to compete on women’s teams.

SJSU, the University of Pennsylvania and the Massachusetts high school athletic association are cited as violators of the Trump Administration’s Feb. 5 executive order banning transgender athletes.

San Jose State University will be under investigation due to Title IX violations per President Trump's ban on transgender women in sports. The Department of Education's investigation comes after President Trump signed an executive order dubbed "Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports" banning transgender women from competing.
