This resolution expresses concern over the National Collegiate Athletic Association's (NCAA) policy allowing biological males to compete in women's sports, citing fundamental biological differences that disadvantage female athletes and jeopardize their safety. It emphasizes the positive impact of athletic participation for girls and the importance of Title IX in supporting women's sports, arguing that the current NCAA policy negatively impacts female athletes. Therefore, the Senate calls on the NCAA to revoke its transgender student-athlete eligibility policy , which it deems discriminatory against female student-athletes. It implores the NCAA to immediately protect the integrity of collegiate women's sports by forbidding transgender-identifying males from competing on women's rosters and to require a biological sex-based policy across all sports and divisions. The resolution also extends this call to all sports-governing bodies in the United States to protect women's sports for biological women and girls.
