Former UPenn women's swimmer and conservative influencer Paula Scanlan says she received a coincidental donation request after the school lost federal funding.

The Trump administration has paused $175 million in federal funding to the University of Pennsylvania over the university’s insistence on allowing men to compete in women’s sports. The action follows President Donald Trump’s executive order issued last month that bars federally funded institutions from allowing male athletes to compete against women and threatens to rescind funding from any institution that refuses to comply.
