Overview

• Evie Parts filed a federal lawsuit in Pennsylvania challenging the NCAA’s February rule barring athletes assigned male at birth from women’s sports
• The suit names the NCAA and four Swarthmore officials, including coach Peter Carroll and athletic director Brad Koch, as defendants
• Parts was removed from the women’s track team on February 6, fully reinstated on April 11, and allowed to compete through her May graduation
• The complaint alleges enforcement of the policy drove Parts into such a depressive state that she engaged in self-harm and contemplated suicide
• Swarthmore released a statement affirming its support for transgender community members and declined further comment, and the NCAA has not publicly responded to the lawsuit
