Ensuring ADA Title II Compliance in Technology Purchases for Higher Education
Intended audience: Any Administrators, Faculty, and Staff who select, purchase, or acquire products—whether free or paid
One of the most challenging aspects of web and digital accessibility in higher education is procurement. Because the vast majority of campus programs, services, and activities are provided by third-party products, ensuring these products meet the ADA Title II regulations is critical. Join us for an informative hour-long webinar designed specifically for administrators, faculty, and staff that will focus on how the ADA Title II regulations change the way campuses should approach procurement and provide an updated model to pragmatically comply with the new requirements. There will also be an interactive segment where attendees can ask questions and get expert advice on specific challenges and scenarios.
