Championing an inclusive digital campus where every Red Raider has equal access to opportunity.
Why Accessibility Matters
In 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice updated Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), requiring public universities to ensure digital accessibility by April 2026. For us, accessibility isn't about compliance but about our commitment to excellence and inclusion. Every member of our community deserves equal access to digital resources.

Understanding the relationship between accessibility, accommodations, and true inclusivity
Accessibility
Accessibility refers to the proactive design of environments, services, and digital content to be usable by all people, regardless of ability, without the need for adaptation. It's about removing barriers before they exist.
Accommodations
Accommodation, on the other hand, is a reactive process, modifying or adjusting an experience to meet the specific needs of an individual, often in response to a request.
Inclusivity
While accommodations are essential, true accessibility strives to minimize the need for them by building inclusivity from the start. When we design for everyone, we create better experiences for all.
