- Web-Site Accessibility (Guests: Gretchen Holden,
Andrea Blair, Janelle Corkill)
Guests from Disability Student Services and committee members discussed the
issues of making web-sites accessible to students with disabilities. It was
noted that the University does make a reasonable effort to make information
accessible, but that there is not enough resources to assist students and
faculty to provide support for web-site accessibility in the manner in which
other ADA obligations are addressed. A letter will be sent to Dr. Unger
requesting that CITAC be responsible for finding the resources to provide this
support. Rowlett, Zollman, Streeter, and Ratzloff agreed to serve as a
web-issues committee.
