After being sued for allowing a transgender swimmer to compete at the Ivy League Swimming & Diving Championships, Harvard University has done away with a policy promising inclusion for transgender athletes, according to its student newspaper.

The Harvard Crimson has reported that Harvard Athletics has removed a so-called “transgender inclusion policy” from its website, with the move coming a day after three former University of Pennsylvania swimmers sued the university for accommodating transgender teammate Lia Thomas at the 2022 Ivy League championships.

This all comes as President Trump’s “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” executive order has made an immediate impact.

Locally, the U.S. Department of Education is investigating the MIAA over possible Title IX violations. Nationally, the NCAA, run by former Bay State Gov. Charlie Baker, has announced it will limit competition in women’s sports to athletes assigned female at birth only.

The Harvard Crimson reported that the transgender inclusion policy, affirming the university’s commitment to creating a “space that is welcoming and inclusive to all identities,” had been still posted on the athletic website as of Tuesday.

That changed Wednesday after Trump signed his executive order, the student newspaper reported.

The Department of Education is also investigating UPenn for potential violations of Title IX.

UPenn alum Grace Estabrook, Margot Kaczorowski and Ellen Holmquist sued Harvard, their former school, the NCAA and the Ivy League Council of Presidents, alleging the institutions harassed, abused and violated federal law by forcing them to accept Thomas as a teammate.

The former swimmers, who filed the suit on Tuesday, accused Harvard of violating Title IX by not offering a “unisex bathroom or separate bathroom for Thomas to use or for any other women to use who did not want to use the Women’s Locker room while Thomas was using it.”

Thomas won the Ivy League championships in the individual 100 freestyle, 200 freestyle and 500 freestyle races and the 400 freestyle relay. The transgender swimmer has been the point of contention ever since among female athletes who have demanded fair competition.

The plaintiffs slammed Thomas’ performances at Harvard, saying they “displace the names of rightful women champions in Harvard’s Blodgett Pool and at UPenn.”

The plaintiffs seek “damages for pain and suffering, mental and emotional distress, suffering and anxiety, expenses costs and other damages against the NCAA, Ivy League, Harvard, and UPenn due to their wrongful conduct.”

“The Ivy League believed that if America’s oldest and most storied educational institutions led the way, Americans would suppress common sense and submit to radical policies that steal young women’s cherished sports opportunities and obliterate biological reality,” attorney Bill Bock wrote in a statement.
