This Policy establishes requirements for staff and faculty to procure, develop and
modify University Websites so that they are accessible to people with disabilities.
To meet the requirements of this Policy, University Websites should be in compliance
with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (“WCAG”) 2.1 Level AA(Link is external), as published by the Web Accessibility Initiative of the World Wide Web Consortium
(the “Standards”). In this document, websites that follow the standards will be referred
to as accessible.
It is the responsibility of each cognizant Dean, Vice President, Chair and/or Director
to assure that University Websites within their areas comply with this Policy and
to identify a CCRI employee to serve as a Site Owner.
The CCRI Accessibility Committee may require that some or all non-compliant portions
of a University Website be brought into compliance by designated staff, and the expense
of that work may be charged to the unit that is responsible for assuring the accessibility
of that information.
