The Trump administration has frozen $175 million in federal funding for the University of Pennsylvania over the Ivy League school’s past policies supporting transgender athletes, the White House announced Wednesday.

The administration announced the action in a post on one of its X accounts, accusing the university of “forcing women to compete with men in sports” and heralding the penalty as “promises kept.”

A half-dozen University of Pennsylvania students were among 19 pro-Palestinian protesters arrested during an attempt to occupy a school building, university police said Saturday.

Their arrests came a week after authorities broke up an anti-Israel protest encampment on campus and arrested nine students — and as other colleges across the country, eager to prepare for commencement season, have either negotiated agreements with students or called in police to dismantle protest camps.

Several arrests were made Friday night as pro-Palestianian protestors gathered on the University of Pennsylvania's campus Friday night. Police told CBS News Philadelphia there were multiple arrests at 34th and Walnut near Fisher-Bennett Hall.

It is unknown at this time how many were arrested but Penn police and Philadelphia police escorted several people out and they were taken into custody.

The university sent a community alert out to the public ensuring police were on the scene investigating and asked people to use caution and avoid the crowded area.

Police in riot gear began dismantling an anti-Israel encampment at the University of Pennsylvania early Friday and arresting protesters after more than two weeks of the demonstrations on campus.

The officers, wearing tactical gear, gave the protesters a 2-minute warning around 6 a.m. to leave the Philadelphia campus or be subject to arrest, NBC10 reported. 

It’s unclear how many protesters were detained at the encampment, which was erected 16 days ago.

Seven states, including Pennsylvania, that were the focal points of Republican efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election have more than 200 legislators labeled in a new report as being “election deniers.”

University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill – under increasing pressure from both donors and the White House after her disastrous testimony before Congress this week on the school’s failure to protect Jewish students – and Scott L. Bok, chairman of its board of trustees, “voluntarily” resigned their posts Saturday in a massive Ivy League shakeup, the school announced.

“I write to share that President Liz Magill has voluntarily tendered her resignation as President of the University of Pennsylvania,” Bok wrote in a surprise “University Notification” sent to staffers Saturday.
