Quote
A group that represents Nevada college and university faculty is calling for higher education Regent Patrick Boylan’s resignation following remarks he made about transgender athletes during a meeting last week.

The Nevada Faculty Alliance issued a statement Sunday saying it is “deeply angered by repeated anti-transgender comments” that Boylan made during a Friday quarterly meeting of the Nevada Board of Regents.

“We are especially appalled by his aggressive response to a student leader who gave public comment decrying remarks made earlier in the meeting,” the alliance said in its statement.

Boylan made his initial remarks Friday after four schools presented their annual athletics reports.

He said he had “one simple question” for athletic directors: “Do we have any men masquerading as women playing in any of our teams and hurting any of the women?”
