Norm is correct I am wanting a copy of the CSU statement. I already have

Subject: Re: Section 508 & state colleges--California Community Colleges'
Guidelines on Distance Education
I believe there is a confusion about California and 508.
I believe that the community colleges have taken the firm position that
508
applies or at least that they will act as though it applies.
I believe that it is the California State University system that is
waffling, and I am not at all sure that the University of California has
yet taken any position.
