USDA Freezes Funding to Maine for Title IX Violations
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has paused federal funding to certain educational programs in Maine due to the state’s non-compliance with Title IX regulations. Specifically, Maine’s policy permitting transgender women to participate in women’s sports is cited as a violation. USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins emphasized that continued funding is contingent upon Maine demonstrating compliance with federal law. The USDA is also reviewing grants awarded to the Maine Department of Education by the previous administration. This action aligns with the administration’s commitment to ensuring adherence to Title IX protections for female student-athletes.
- Funding Pause: Affects administrative and technical school functions.
- Compliance Requirement: Maine must align with federal Title IX interpretations.
- Grant Review: Ongoing assessment of prior grants to Maine’s Department of Education.
