Hosted by The Chronicle of Higher Education. Colleges are rushing to adopt emerging technologies, but new Department of Justice regulations remind institutions of a more basic imperative: making their websites accessible to all users. With an estimated cost of $7 billion to higher education, the standards (which have been in place since 2018) affect every corner of campus digital life, from course materials to administrative services.

Join us on Wednesday, November 19, at 2 p.m. ET as we examine how institutions are:

• Auditing digital content and identifying high-priority areas for remediation.
• Managing third-party vendor compliance effectively.
• Building sustainable accessibility-training programs.

Our discussion will draw on expert insights to help your institution develop practical approaches for meeting these critical requirements.
