The only university that I know that has publicly announced any standard is
University of Wisconsin-Madison[1].
The state of Illinois has published its own standards [2] that are much
better than the 508 requirements used by Wisconsin. But since they are an
executive order of the governor and the governor does not have direct
administrative control over education institutions, most educational
institutions in Illinois do not feel bound to them.
Good Luck,
Jon
