[Nfbf-l] Florida state

[Christopher Toth]

Their O&M program is of little consequence, in my opinion, if students 
which go here aren't even getting their basic accessibility needs met.
For instance, I'd like to invite you to try their math portal:
http://einstein.math.fsu.edu:9080/students
Go to that website, navigate to an assignment which does not require 
signup, and attempt to access it with any screen reader.
Then, consider the troubling fact that this eGrade software is utilized 
for 100% of undergraduate math courses at FSU, on every single practice 
assignment, homework, quiz, and exam with no provisions for visually 
impaired students.  Further consider that at least some of these math 
courses are required to enter any STEM field.
Or perhaps the case of the inaccessible PRS transmitters -- small 
electronic devices which are required in political science courses for 
tracking attendance and answering quiz questions but have exactly 0 
audible feedback and require an inaccessible setup/class joining process 
daily.
I am a second-year student here at this fine university, and I have 
recently switched my major from computer science, my passion, to 
political science because none of my needs were being met by the 
inaccessible math program.  Things are bad here, to the point where I 
have contacted the folks in Baltimore for some assistance.
