"content": "\u003cp>As the first transgender athlete to compete for Team USA, Chris Mosier credits his confidence as a professional athlete and trans man to his participation in sports since childhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The NCAA announced Thursday that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12025974/federal-officials-investigate-san-jose-state-under-trumps-order-trans-athletes\">it will no longer allow transgender athletes to compete\u003c/a> on women’s sports teams, and Mosier worries that transgender youth will no longer feel welcomed in athletics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is no opportunity now for some young persons who love sports to be themselves and play the sports that they love at the university level,” Mosier said. “It’s deeply disappointing, and while it’s going to impact just a handful of athletes, it’s going to impact them and their teams profoundly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One day after \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/donald-trump\">President Donald Trump\u003c/a> signed an executive order seeking to bar transgender athletes from participating in school sports, the organization that regulates college sports changed its participation policy to align with Trump’s directive. Transgender advocates warn the changes could have serious repercussions for both transgender youth and cisgender women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the NCAA’s new policy, athletes assigned male at birth or those receiving testosterone treatment are barred from competing on women’s teams. However, all athletes may practice with teams that align with their gender identity. The policy for men’s sports remains unchanged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We strongly believe that clear, consistent, and uniform eligibility standards would best serve today’s student-athletes instead of a patchwork of conflicting state laws and court decisions,” NCAA President Charlie Baker said in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncaa.org/news/2025/2/5/media-center-ncaa-president-charlie-baker-issues-statement-regarding-trump-administration-executive-order.aspx\">statement\u003c/a> last week. “To that end, President Trump’s order provides a clear, national standard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mosier, a competitive runner who first competed for Team USA in 2015, said it’s frustrating that the NCAA was so quick to comply with Trump’s order when it could have found other ways to continue allowing transgender students to participate, especially when the trans community is underrepresented in sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing last year, Baker testified that there are only 10 transgender athletes that he was aware of in the NCAA. He noted that there are over 500,000 athletes in the association. Mosier said the decision to target transgender athletes despite their small numbers was a political one that hurts both the transgender community and other marginalized groups looking to participate in college athletics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not about banning a handful of trans athletes from participating in sports,” Mosier said. “Trans identity has been politicized and weaponized… It’s a strategy to try to legislate away transgender people from public life.

It’s not because of any sort of hypothetical advantage that a trans person might have. It’s because it’s all about exclusion, period.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patel is concerned that the bans sought by these lawsuits and politicians like Trump will actually put cisgender women and girls more at risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That really contradicts Title IX’s broad purpose and does nothing to protect gender equity in sports, and instead subjects women and girls to more harm, to gender policing, to scrutiny as to whether or not they are a ‘real woman or girl,’” Patel said. “And we’ve seen, especially from professional sports, the impact on Black and brown women and girls.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, this summer, a Utah high school athletics association \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/sports-education-utah-school-athletics-government-and-politics-dc6451adde255f47e31229f502f773ad\">secretly investigated a female athlete\u003c/a> — without notifying her or her parents — over questions about whether she was transgender.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, more than 20 states have laws banning transgender students from participating in sports consistent with their gender identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The committee requested access to sexual harassment complaints against employees at the chancellor’s office, San Jose State, Fresno State and Sonoma State campuses where there had been publicly reported allegations of misconduct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report found that from 2018 to 2022, the system received 1,251 sexual harassment reports against CSU employees across the 23 campuses. However, the audit cautions that the data from the chancellor’s office is unreliable and inconsistent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The audit also found that of the 40 cases, 24 were missing documents, making it difficult for auditors to assess if campuses handled the allegations appropriately. Those missing documents included interview notes, relevant evidence, outreach to complainants, and timeline extensions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We also identified two cases in which a campus’s lack of accessible documentation about the outcome of a previous case may have affected its handling of a new allegation of sexual harassment against the same” individual, according to the audit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes the corrective actions were not severe enough to stop individuals from misconduct. In another example from the audit, a female student reported a male faculty member repeatedly asked her out, hugged and kissed her. When the Title IX coordinator and a personnel administrator met with the faculty member to address his behavior. But three years later, the faculty member was the subject of similar allegations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In four cases, campuses reached settlement agreements that contained conditions like suspension without pay, voluntary resignation, training, or a letter of reprimand in exchange for monetary awards or removal of disciplinary documents from a personnel file.

But the audit found that the new policy would not cover seven cases where employees had findings of sexual harassment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, the professor that committed sexual harassment, violence and stalking could still receive a letter of positive recommendation because the discipline in that case didn’t lead to his firing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The auditor also found that CSU needs a way to address unprofessional behavior that isn’t sexual harassment. In one case, the audit cited an investigation that found the behavior inappropriate and recommended the individual’s supervisor address it, but there was no evidence the campus took any action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chancellor’s office also failed to collect data and analysis adequately across the 23 campuses, so “it lacks complete and accurate information about the total number of cases of alleged sexual harassment,” according to the audit. The office also doesn’t have standard practices for preventing, detecting or addressing sexual harassment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ultimately the Chancellor’s Office has both the responsibility and the authority to ensure that campuses consistently and adequately address sexual harassment concerns,” according to the audit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Auditor Grant Parks, in his letter to the legislature, said: “The problems and inconsistencies we found during this audit warrant system-wide changes at CSU. In particular, the Chancellor’s Office must take a more active approach to overseeing campuses’ efforts to prevent and address sexual harassment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parks recommends the chancellor’s office close gaps in its policies, collect and analyze critical data, and regularly review its campuses for compliance with legal requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to the audit, interim Chancellor Jolene Koester said, “We agree with and will implement the recommendations provided in the audit report, as well as those identified in the Cozen assessment, to strengthen our culture of care and compliance and advance the CSU’s core values of equity, diversity and inclusion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Koester said that CSU will strengthen its accountability and prioritize prevention, mitigating barriers to reporting and ensuring appropriate response and support systems.[aside postID=news_11946741 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/04/CMUndergrads01-1020x680.jpg']Mike Fong, chair of the Assembly Higher Education committee, said he would work with the university system, faculty and students to “address the identified problems and provide avenues for healing for all those involved. Our students, faculty and staff deserve a safe campus environment, and the knowledge that when they report any discrimination or misconduct, their voices will be heard, their complaints investigated, and the system will work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fong also said that while CSU was the subject of two investigations, the problem of how systems respond to allegations of sexual misconduct and discrimination isn’t isolated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will work to address Title IX compliance at all higher education institutions in California,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal State’s new chancellor-select, Mildred Garcia, following her appointment last week, said of the law firm’s report released yesterday: “There are no ifs, and, or buts, and we say that to our communities, and we demonstrate what we’re doing. It is my understanding that campuses have already started the implementation teams. It is my role to make sure that work gets implemented and that we hold people accountable to get it done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue of sexual harassment in the CSU system blew up early last year when USA Today reported that recently appointed Chancellor Joseph I. Castro, while president of Fresno State, ignored complaints of sexual misconduct for years by his vice president of student affairs, Frank Lamas, before his actions were finally investigated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CSU has increasingly come under scrutiny from state auditors and news organizations for poor responses to sexual harassment complaints filed by faculty, administrators and students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The office also doesn’t have standard practices for preventing, detecting or addressing sexual harassment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ultimately the Chancellor’s Office has both the responsibility and the authority to ensure that campuses consistently and adequately address sexual harassment concerns,” according to the audit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Auditor Grant Parks, in his letter to the legislature, said: “The problems and inconsistencies we found during this audit warrant system-wide changes at CSU. In particular, the Chancellor’s Office must take a more active approach to overseeing campuses’ efforts to prevent and address sexual harassment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parks recommends the chancellor’s office close gaps in its policies, collect and analyze critical data, and regularly review its campuses for compliance with legal requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to the audit, interim Chancellor Jolene Koester said, “We agree with and will implement the recommendations provided in the audit report, as well as those identified in the Cozen assessment, to strengthen our culture of care and compliance and advance the CSU’s core values of equity, diversity and inclusion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Koester said that CSU will strengthen its accountability and prioritize prevention, mitigating barriers to reporting and ensuring appropriate response and support systems.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It is my role to make sure that work gets implemented and that we hold people accountable to get it done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue of sexual harassment in the CSU system blew up early last year when USA Today reported that recently appointed Chancellor Joseph I. Castro, while president of Fresno State, ignored complaints of sexual misconduct for years by his vice president of student affairs, Frank Lamas, before his actions were finally investigated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CSU has increasingly come under scrutiny from state auditors and news organizations for poor responses to sexual harassment complaints filed by faculty, administrators and students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
