[NABS-L] College website accessibility

[Kendra Schaber]

Hi all!
I totally agree with Nick because if you have an accessibility statement,
and your school isn't actually helping you, then there are some major
problems going on at your school. I'm going to Chemeketa Community College
and they too have an accessibility link which is where I could go to find
their accessibility statement. At least my school has a decent disability
department that actually tries with their limited resources to make my
course matereals accessible. Even so, I still believe in supplementing
your school's resources with your own, even when they're decent because
sometimes, classes move so fast that your school can't keep up with the
pace. Even so, the better your school's resources, the less you have to
add your own resources, even if all you added was AIRA which is expensive
in less your school is one of the lucky AIRA access partners.

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.

Nick

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.
