Thank you for this question. Across OHIO, we share your commitment to offering an equitable learning experience for everyone, and there is already a significant amount of collective work happening across the institution to not only ensure the ADA鈥檚 requirements and deadlines are met, but that our ohio.edu website continually improves for all users.

Specific to faculty, OHIO鈥檚 Office for Information Technology offers faculty-focused resources for managing and delivering accessible course content, including universal techniques to help improve the overall accessibility of the digital materials that are provided to your students.

If you have specific questions about your departmental website and/or the ways you can help ensure you are offering accessible documents, we encourage you to contact webcontent@ohio.edu for guidance and support.

More broadly, OHIO has also shared a digital accessibility update with the University community that included the action steps that we are taking to help us remain in compliance with ADA requirements, including:

• A new Web CMS User Policy in March 2024 to ensure our continued compliance with the ADA under Title II. Some items of note in the Web CMS User Policy include making sure content is updated regularly to ensure content accuracy, that brand standards are followed and that digital accessibility laws are followed.
• A digital accessibility and remediation timeline to help move our collective work forward.

Instructional faculty members are critical to our teaching mission and play a vital role in delivering our curriculum at the undergraduate and master鈥檚 levels. Instructional faculty members who engage in research and creative activity will benefit from Dynamic Strategy investments in research infrastructure and support for interdisciplinary collaboration.

As we move our Dynamic Strategy forward to implementation, we recognize that people are the center of progress, and we want every OHIO employee to connect with our mission and vision and find a place for themselves in the path ahead.

Our entire 91探花 community is invited to further contribute their voice during the implementation phase of our Dynamic Strategy. Additional information, including ways that you can get involved, is available online.
