Digital Accessibility Compliance (DAC) Committee will oversee Policy Compliance. The DAC Committee is comprised of ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ staff from various departments along with faculty members.
The DAC Committee recognizes that ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ should address EIT community wide to:
- Promote a more inclusive and welcoming digital environment, especially for individuals with disabilities.
- Enable the colleges to address EIT accessibility barriers.
- Empower college students with disabilities to persist and complete their educational goals.
- Work with third party vendors to conform to technical accessibility standards.
- Create a compliance plan for deliverables and timelines aligned to the EIT Accessibility Policy standards.
- Ensure compliance with applicable local, state, and federal regulations and laws.
Given the EIT Accessibility Policy reaches into many student and public facing facets at ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½, the DAC Committee has been grouped into four subcommittees in the areas of web accessibility and social media, IT procurement, course content, and EIT accessibility training for faculty and staff. I am pleased to report the Committee has spent the past year working on various deliverable and goals for EIT accessibility and will continue over a multi-year plan.
