Formed in Spring 2025, the UIS Digital Accessibility Leadership Team is a cross-functional committee providing strategic collaboration and guidance to advance digital accessibility across campus. The team operates through dedicated working groups focused on the following areas:
- Campus Materials
- Training & Education
- Communication
- Digital Accessibility Review Committee
- Web Content
- Policy & Strategy
The leadership team was created to lead institutional efforts in response to updated U.S. Department of Justice requirements for governmental entities under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). These changes emphasize the need for accessible digital content, including online course materials and mobile applications.
