The Trump administration is gearing up to investigate schools for potential Title IX violations for allowing transgender women to compete in women's sports, including San Jose State.

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.
