===Implementation=== [[File:Ted Stevens 1973 full (cropped).jpg|thumb|Senator [[Ted Stevens]] of Alaska, the "Father of Title IX"]] Each institution or organization that receives federal funding must designate at least one employee as Title IX coordinator. Their duty is to oversee that Title IX is not being violated and to answer all questions pertaining to Title IX. Everyone must have access to the Title IX coordinator's name, address, and telephone number. To ensure compliance with Title IX, programs of both males and females must display no discrimination. This applies to opportunities for athletic participation (in proportion to enrollment numbers), scholarships, and how athletes are treated (e.g., equitable locker room facilities, etc.).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Title IX Frequently Asked Questions |url=https://www.ncaa.org/sports/2014/1/27/title-ix-frequently-asked-questions.aspx |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240106022707/https://www.ncaa.org/sports/2014/1/27/title-ix-frequently-asked-questions.aspx |archive-date=2024-01-06 |access-date=2024-01-06 |website=NCAA.org |language=en}}</ref> [[File:BirchWorkout.jpg|thumb|Senator [[Birch Bayh|Bayh]] exercises with Title IX athletes at [[Purdue University]] in the 1970s.]] Title IX's statutory language is brief.

Since 1975, the federal government has issued guidance clarifying how it interprets and enforces those regulations.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/frontpage/faq/rr/policyguidance/sex.html|title=Reading Room: Sex Discrimination Policy|last=Office for Civil Rights|first=U.S. Department of Education|website=U.S. Department of Education|access-date=October 6, 2018}}</ref>
