Education Department Warns SJSU of Title IX Enforcement After 10-Day Compliance Deadline Passes

Summary
March 24 brought the sharpest escalation yet: the Education Department told San Jose State it faced “impending enforcement action” over Title IX noncompliance, and the 10-day deadline it set has now expired.
The standoff stems from the department’s finding that SJSU violated Title IX in its handling of a transgender volleyball player and then refused a resolution that officials said could have avoided financial penalties.
Department findings, cited in records obtained by Fox News Digital, said SJSU failed to formally investigate allegations that a plan was discussed to injure teammate Brooke Slusser and described efforts to silence dissent within the team.
Internal CSU emails showed some employees backed the system’s March 6 lawsuit against the department, while others warned the stance undermined women’s sports and could expose the university to more litigation.
The dispute now sits alongside a separate player lawsuit against CSU, with broader legal stakes tied to the Supreme Court’s expected June ruling on transgender athletes and Title IX.
