College sports complaints gain protections and remedies
Beginning July 1, 2025, the University of Wyoming and Wyoming community colleges cannot retaliate against anyone reporting violations of these sports rules. Schools may discipline students or employees who make false reports. A person can sue a covered school for any violation, subject to Wyoming Statutes 1-39-113 and 1-39-114. A school's liability for a violation is capped at $50,000; this is not a guaranteed payment. A person can also ask a court to declare a violation or order the school to stop it. Courts may grant other equitable relief and award reasonable attorney's fees and costs to the winning side.
Wyoming college sports follow biological sex rules
Beginning July 1, 2025, the University of Wyoming and Wyoming community colleges must follow biological-sex rules for intercollegiate sports. Covered events include contests, exhibitions, and performances involving teams or individuals. Schools cannot allow students in opposite-sex events or male students in female-designated positions in mixed-sex events. A female student may enter a male-designated event when a matching female event is not offered or available. Schools cannot enter female-designated competitions against teams they know include a male student. In individual sports, schools must prevent female students from directly competing against known male students when competition is unsafe or unfair to female students; this includes individual results that count toward team scores. The law defines female and male by reproductive systems that produce, transport, and use eggs or sperm for fertilization, including past or future function and function prevented by a congenital anomaly or disruption. A birth certificate establishes sex only when recorded near birth or corrected for a clerical error. The university and community college commission must issue rules that protect student medical information under state and federal law.
