All campuses across the country are facing accessibility challenges.
WSU is in a special position because of the nature of the agreement with the NFB.
The WSU/NFB agreement is not the only one of its kind.
Accessibility is not the same as accommodation.
Accessibility is proactive and benefits populations.
Accommodations are reactive and benefit individuals with specified needs.
All federal money coming from the Department of Education is subject to Section 504 requirements and is overseen by the Office of Civil Rights (OCR).
Disability harassment is serious, and it is WSU's responsibility to respond.
Harassment includes advising a person to take a different class or pursue a different major on the basis of a disability (real or perceived) alone.
Focus on moving forward in an accessible way.
Using Microsoft products supplied by the university ensures you have the appropriate tools and support you need.
Digital documents and face-to-face delivery need to be accessible.
Consider accessibility when choosing textbooks.
