On April 24, 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice issued its Final Rule regarding implementation of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) across digital platforms, which codifies application of existing nondiscrimination requirements for services, programs, and activities to public postsecondary web-based services and mobile apps. This Rule establishes detailed technical standards for web and mobile app content accessibility to promote equitable access to public services for people with a range of disabilities. The Final Rule is likely to serve as a blueprint for subsequent rulemaking under Title III.

Please join us for this 2-hour webinar in which NACUA experts will distill this complex regulatory and technological framework for both lawyers and Luddites, including:

• An overview of the WCAG 2.1, Level AA technical compliance standard;
• The five compliance exceptions;
• When to rely on a “conforming alternate version” for making content accessible;
• What really constitutes a “fundamental alteration” of web-based services or “undue financial and administrative burdens;”
• Differing implementation timelines based on entity size;
• And more!

Who should attend?  

This webinar will interest public postsecondary counsel, those tasked with implementing campus accommodations, and campus tech partners; as well as private college and university counsel who wish to get a head start on anticipated web-based accessibility standards under Title III.
