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>

Title IX's statutory language is brief. U.S. President Nixon therefore directed the [[United States Department of Health and Human Services|Department of Health, Education and Welfare]] (HEW) to publish regulations clarifying the law's application.<ref name="Suggs"/> In 1974, U.S. Senator [[John Tower]] introduced the [[Tower Amendment]] which would have exempted revenue-producing sports from Title&nbsp;IX compliance.<ref name="cases">[http://bailiwick.lib.uiowa.edu/ge/historyRE.html "Landmark Title&nbsp;IX Cases in History"] {{webarchive|url=http://archive.wikiwix.com/cache/20110914080142/http://bailiwick.lib.uiowa.edu/ge/historyRE.html |date=September 14, 2011 }} Gender Equity in Sport. February 23, 2006.</ref> Later that year, Congress rejected the Tower Amendment and passed an amendment proposed by U.S. Senator [[Jacob Javits]] directing HEW to include "reasonable provisions considering the nature of particular sports" adopted in its place.<ref name="Suggs" /> In June 1975, HEW published the final regulations detailing how Title&nbsp;IX would be enforced.<ref name="Suggs" />  These regulations were codified in the [[Federal Register]] in the [[Code of Federal Regulations]] [[Title 34 of the Code of Federal Regulations|Volume 34]], Part 106 ({{USCFR|34|106}}). 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>
