Tufts University is reportedly cutting ties with Rep. Seth Moulton's office over his comments on transgender athletes. CNN reports that David Art, the chair of the political science department at Tufts, allegedly made the decision to stop facilitating internship opportunities with Moulton's office. However, Tufts refutes these claims, stating that they have not cut ties with Moulton. The controversy stems from Moulton's remarks about trans participation in sports, which have sparked a debate on the university's stance and its implications for students and donors.
