A note of appreciation as we approach federal deadlines for digital accessibility
Tuesday, April 14, 2026

As we approach the April 24 deadline associated with the Title II regulations on digital accessibility, I want to take a moment to thank faculty and staff across campus for the significant progress made so far.

The work happening across our institution reflects a strong, shared commitment to access, inclusion, and compliance. While April 24 marks an important milestone, our efforts to improve digital accessibility will continue beyond this date. Accessibility is an ongoing responsibility, and the thoughtful work you are doing now lays a strong foundation for continued improvement.

Thank you for your engagement, collaboration, and dedication to creating inclusive digital experiences for all members of our community. Your efforts truly make a difference.
