Federal probe targets Smith College over transgender admissions
TL;DR Summary
The U.S. Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights has opened a Title IX investigation into Smith College to determine whether the private women’s college violated sex-discrimination rules by admitting transgender women, a move tied to ongoing Republican-led efforts to limit transgender rights in education; Smith has admitted transgender women since 2015, reflecting broader shifts in some women’s colleges toward more inclusive admissions.
