DOJ ADA Title II Web Accessibility Rule: What Higher Ed Leaders Need to Know
Institutions are expected to make their web content and mobile apps accessible to people with disabilities using WCAG 2.1 Level AA as the required technical standard. The earliest compliance date for many public entities is April 24, 2026, with additional time for smaller entities and special districts. This page is built for campus leadership, ADA/504 coordinators, IT, procurement, and risk owners who need a plan that is executable and defensible.

Multimedia accessibility: captions, transcripts, and audio description

AI-Assisted Accessibility Remediation: Speed With Human Accountability
AI can accelerate accessibility work, especially at higher ed content volumes. It can also introduce risk if handled casually. We apply automation selectively in controlled environments, with accessibility specialists accountable for verification and sign-off, so speed does not come at the cost of trust, privacy, or accuracy.
