[il-talk] something of interest

They cancelled a meeting and would not act.  This has been going on for a 
long time.  We do hope they will now respond.

Hello All:

I received the following message from a friend.

Suit Says Law Admissions Group Canâ?Tt See Its Anti-Blind Bias


The National Federation of the Blind and a blind law school applicant sued
the Law School Admission Council last week, charging that its Web site,
essential to those preparing for the Law School Admission Test, is
inaccessible to blind people, effectively blocking them from law school.
Web sites can be â?otaggedâ? so that blind people can use software to
navigate
and obtain information, but the suit charges that the law school site lacks
this necessary tagging. Joan Van Tol, general counsel for the law school
group, told The National Law Journal that she was disappointed that the
National Federation for the Blind sued â?owhen we fully expected to address
their concerns through productive meetings.�
