Hello,
I know this question has been answered here before, so I apologize in
advance. Does Section 508 only apply to government agencies, or does it
extend to publically funded higher educational institutions?
Also, which federal/state laws (if any) speak explicitly to higher
education needing to make their campus computing/internet/eLearning
accessible? Here in Canada, folks often throw ADA and 508 around as
covering campuses in this regard, but as I understand it, it is still up
to individual schools to what extent to which aspects of their IT they
will make accessible.
I have also heard that individual states have passed specific laws that
speak to access to eLearning. Can someone clarify whether this is true,
and if so, which states have done this?
Thanks,
Jennison
