Swarthmore College has responded to a lawsuit filed by the transgender athletic athlete Evelyn Parts that alleges that the school eliminated the parts of the women’s team after the NCAA changed its rules to prohibit men in women’s sports, but then added parts to the team despite the new rules.
Parts filed the lawsuit this week, becoming the third trans athlete within a month to sue an American university for being retired from a women’s team.
Swarthmore provided a statement to Pak Gazette Digital in response to the demand for parts and the specific accusations of adding parts to the equipment after the NCAA changed its rules.

“Swarthmore deeply values the members of our transgender community and the many ways in which they enrich the life of the campus. We offer numerous resources to create a cozy, solidarity and inclusive environment for transgender people. We recognize that this is a particularly difficult and painful moment for members of the transgender community, including students-matletas,” the statement said.
“We work to support EVIE’s pieces at a time of orientation in rapid evolution, while we balance the ability of other members of the female athletics team to compete in the events of the NCAA. Given the pending litigation, we will not make more comments.”

Parts claimed that the school said the pieces could no longer compete in the women’s team in February, the same month that the NCAA changed its gender eligibility policy after the president Donald Trump He signed the executive order to “keep men out of women’s sports.”
The demand for pieces also states that the Trans athlete “reinstated” the Swarthmore female athletics team on April 11. Parts states that they were allowed to compete in the women’s team until graduated in May, even after Trump’s policy and executive order entered into force.
The parties appear as the winner of the 10,000 female meters in Bill Butler Invitational in April and as a participant in the invitation of Paul Donahue that same month and the centenary championship in early May, according to the athlete. Swarthmore athletics page.
Parts lawyer, Susie Cirilli, previously provided a statement to Pak Gazette Digital by directing the lawsuit.
“We support the accusations of the complaint. As indicated in the complaint, the NCAA is a private organization that issued an intolerant policy. Swarthmore chose to follow that policy and ignore the federal and state law,” said Cirilli.
Swarthmore would not be the first school to allow a biological man to compete in women’s sports after the change of NCAA rules, if the accusations are true.
Ithaca College in New York admitted to having allowed an athlete Trans to compete in a rowing competition in Division III in March. The Trans athlete competed in the Cayuga duals, but only in the third university event eight, which is not taken into account NCAA Championship qualification.
Ithaca provided a statement to Pak Gazette Digital saying that the participation of the trans athlete was due to a “misunderstanding” of the coaching staff.
The NCAA provided a statement to FOX News Digital that addresses the breach of Ithaca’s policy.
“Politics is clear that there are no exemptions available, and students assigned to men at birth may not compete in a team of women with modified birth certificates or other forms of identification,” said the NCAA.
“If the competition occurs, the team will be considered a mixed team and is not eligible to compete against women’s teams. Ithaca declared its intention to adhere to politics, allowing opportunities for practice, and the NCAA appreciates the response capacity of Ithaca.”
The NCAA did not indicate whether the results of the event would be canceled or if ithaca would face any consequence.
Former President Joe Biden had an executive order that protected the rights of trans athletes to compete in women’s sports, and the previous NCAA policy allowed trans athletes. The participation of the former Trans swimmer from the University of Pennsylvania, Lia Thomas, and the former trans volleyball player from the state of San José, Blaire Fleming, caused multiple demands against these institutions and the NCAA, directed by Riley Gaines, Brooke Slusser and multiple former swimings of Upenn women.
The Transie Schreiner athlete, who Cirilli also represents in a lawsuit against Princeton University, was previously allowed to compete for the Women’s Athletics Team of the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) for two years before the change of rules of the NCAA in February. The former Women Athletics brokerage, Caroline Hill, joined Gaines’ demand against the NCAA, citing her experience competing and sharing a costume with Schreiner.
The Trump Department of Education has already taken measures against multiple universities on trans inclusion incidents in women’s sports before Trump’s executive order. The DOE reached an agreement with UpenN on Thomas’s participation in female swimming in early July. The university agreed to expel the records of the trans athlete and apologize with all the female athletes affected by the presence of Thomas in the women’s team.
At the beginning of August, the DOE reached an agreement with Wagner College for a similar resolution with respect to former Trans Redmond Sullivan.
Doe’s investigation into the state of San José on Fleming’s controversy is ongoing.
Pak Gazette Digital has communicated with the NCAA to comment on the demand demand.
