Digital Accessibility Liaisons

Technology Accessibility Liaisons

In order to facilitate institutional progress toward campus digital accessibility goals, The University of Alabama has College and Division Title II Liaisons, as well as web liaisons appointed for every college, division, and school.

College and Division Title II Liaisons

Title II liaisons are asked to take several key actions to aid their colleges or divisions in fulfilling digital accessibility needs. Liaisons raise awareness and help schedule information sessions. They advocate for accessible practices when creating or selecting applications, documents, course materials, and research tools. Additionally, Title II liaisons will help the institution hone its inventory of digital assets—including websites, social media accounts, newsletters, and applications—and coordinate collection of accessibility documentation from vendors.

Web Accessibility Liaisons

Web accessibility liaisons will review sites and materials connected to each college, division, or school. Duties include reviewing and updating a list of websites connected to their campus area, including any UA sites owned, managed, or maintained by their faculty, staff, or students (not limited to sites directly managed by the area’s technology team). Web liaisons will also receive and review web accessibility evaluations for these sites, working with Technology Accessibility to address digital accessibility needs.
