April 4 (UPI) -- A new Title IX Special Investigations team will focus on enforcing President Donald Trump's executive order banning transgender women from competing on female sports teams and using restrooms designated for women.
Justice Department and the Department of Education will work together "to apply a rapid resolution investigation process to the increasing volume of Title IX cases," according to a joint news release Friday.
Title IX, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in education, was enacted in 1972.
On Feb. 5, Trump signed an executive order called Keeping Men out of Women's Sports. On his first day in office on Jan. 20, he signed an order recognizing two sexes as biological male and female.
