[NABS-L] College website accessibility

Another thing to add: 

I am also working with my university to improve the accessibility of the
athletics website, bookstore website, and the software we use to schedule
courses. I am also helping to make HR training modules for student employees
to be accessible. 

I say all of that to let you know that it is likely you will run into
inaccessible websites and other resources. 

Welcome to postsecondary education! (sarcasm)

Hello,

Penn State has an accessibility statement, but you have to click on a link
called "accessibility" to get to it. Even though Penn State has this
statement, I think Penn State needs improvement when it comes to
accessibility. 

 Personally, I think an accessibility statement is not helpful to have. What
is really helpful to have is a quality education that is accessible. Chances
are, if your college does not want to have an accessibility statement (or
seems to be dragging their feet about it), then that is not a good sign.

Hello everyone. I am trying to advocate to my college about implementing an
accessibility statement on their website. Other colleges in my area have an
accessibility statement on their website. Does your college have an
accessibility statement on their website? They are trying to send
information to me on applying for accessibility accommodations, but all I
need is my question answered on if they are going to implement an
accessibility statement on their website.
