Description
Ensure Compliance With New Regulations
In April 2024, the Department of Justice published the final rule that created formal standards for digital accessibility that must be met by all public entities. This long-awaited rule adds digital accessibility requirements to Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, affecting all government and government-funded organizations including public Higher Education institutions. The new regulations are a legal ‘Call to Action’, requiring sustained compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 at the AA Level for all website and app content active at the end of the short 2–3-year compliance deadline.
Join us as we examine the new Title II ADA Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1). Our experienced presenter will explain what is and is not covered under the new regulations; identify key internal and external resources for remediation and accessible content creation; and provide a roadmap for creating and executing an effective, sustainable digital accessibility plan.
Attendees will leave with essential actions and takeaways that will protect the Civil Rights of individuals with disabilities, significantly reduce legal risk, limit liability, and provide a strategic approach to access that can be tailored to your institution’s individual needs.
