Legal Decision on Utah High School Activities Association's Policy
Aug. 15, 2025 — A judge has ruled that the Utah High School Activities Association should not be held in contempt after adopting a new policy that bars transgender athletes from competing in girls' sports.
Background of the Policy
The association introduced the restriction following an executive order issued by President Donald Trump. The rule prohibits transgender students from participating on girls' teams.
Court's Ruling
In the court's decision, the judge found the association acted properly when it implemented the measure and therefore declined to punish the group for contempt.
