The truly appalling part is that this website is *about* providing equal
access! How can you reasonably have a site about the difficulty experienced
by a person with a disability in gaining access to education, and not make
it accessible? And then to be *snotty* when the inaccessibility is pointed
out, of a website that talks about hidden barriers is just plain bad!

Subject: In Their Shoes
Hello all,
I came across a website at this institution that is done with flash and they
didn't bother making it accessible via keyboard nor did they give any audio
cues. I emailed to complain and their terse reply stated that I can find a
text version of this site at an alternate location, however there isn't any
cue giving the link to this other location. And in their email reply they
state that this is password protected and they didn't send the link. I don't
know about you but I feel that separate is not equal particularly in this
case. Consider they probably received some grant moneys to produce this
site, the purpose of which is "sensitivity training." And the initial
location you go to is not password protected though it is only an
introduction, it isn't accessible. Please check it out and send your opinion
to:
