Dialogue: 0,0:00:01.05,0:00:05.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Michael Young) We are committed to the notion\Nthat everyone should have an opportunity to
Dialogue: 0,0:00:05.03,0:00:09.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,participate in higher education, whether it\Nbe from the learning perspective, or the research
Dialogue: 0,0:00:09.96,0:00:14.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,perspective, or an opportunity to work here\Nat this institution. We benefit from that
Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.08,0:00:20.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because we get to enjoy the talents and the\Nskills of those people who come in, and also
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.52,0:00:24.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,their perspective, which in many cases will\Nbe different from the perspective of others
Dialogue: 0,0:00:24.60,0:00:31.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on campus. So accessibility becomes a very\Nimportant value at the university.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.06,0:01:32.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,excellence is achieved through diversity and\Nthat a commitment to equity and inclusion
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.01,0:01:38.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,really enriches each of our lives.\N(Linda Cahill) It would be inconceivable not
Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.00,0:01:45.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to have a social conscience, at least, and\Nbe completely committed to making our resources

Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.02,0:01:55.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Ed Ray) We believe that the use of technology\Ncan be very powerful. It connects people to
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.08,0:02:02.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,each other, but it also enhances their learning\Ncapabilities; it increases what they can do

Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.16,0:02:46.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and makes available has to be offered to everybody.\NWe can't afford to waste the talents or

Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.01,0:02:57.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to engage in the university. Equal opportunity\Nis a part of our value system, but it's
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.22,0:03:00.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,also required by law.\N(Pete Siegel) Compliance is extremely important.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.89,0:03:06.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And compliance is the law. But that isn't\Nthe motivator for most of us at universities.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.96,0:03:14.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Our motivation has always been to provide\Neasily accessible tools, excellent experiences

Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.66,0:03:34.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Michael Young) Universal design is a very\Npowerful concept because what it means is
Dialogue: 0,0:03:34.38,0:03:40.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we look at the issue of accessibility at the\Noutset rather than buying something or engaging
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.44,0:03:43.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,something, or developing something that we\Nhave to retrofit. Which not only makes it
Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.09,0:03:49.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,cheaper and more efficient, it likely makes\Nit much better in terms of both the quality

Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.58,0:03:56.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to use it.\N(Tracy Mitrano) I think the other direction
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.30,0:04:02.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that colleges and universities could and should\Ntake is to think about accommodation as really
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.100,0:04:08.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the beginning of the conversation about disability\N. It was the appropriate measure that was
Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.36,0:04:13.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,taken in the Americans with Disabilities Act\Nthat was passed in 1990 and that's well over
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.94,0:04:20.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a generation ago. I think now we really have\Nto think less about how we're going to measure
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.08,0:04:27.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,specifically this accommodation or that accommodation\Nand recognize that we can make accessibility
Dialogue: 0,0:04:27.01,0:04:32.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,open and available so that individual staff,\Nfaculty or students do not have to go to get
Dialogue: 0,0:04:32.01,0:04:38.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,an accommodation. It will be automatically\Navailable in the webpage that they visit,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:38.00,0:04:42.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the device that they use.\N(Brady Deaton) We envision a campus that has
Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.04,0:04:48.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a concept of universal design in all aspects\Nof information technology, that a student
Dialogue: 0,0:04:48.01,0:04:52.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is not impeded in any way, but in fact, that\Ntechnology is utilized not only directly by
Dialogue: 0,0:04:52.09,0:04:59.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,those who benefit because of certain challenges\Nthey may have, but also is illustrative to
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.10,0:05:05.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the broader student body and to the faculty\Nand to alums about what an inclusive learning
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.01,0:05:08.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,environment is.\N(Pete Seigel) We have some things we have
Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.03,0:05:13.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to learn in order to move into accessibility\Nspace, but the basic goals and the basic values
Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.07,0:05:18.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are things we already know and love. Then\Nwe bring in things like universal design:
Dialogue: 0,0:05:18.04,0:05:24.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the notion that if we design things well right\Nfrom the start, they actually aren't more
Dialogue: 0,0:05:24.03,0:05:31.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,expensive. This is something that we can fit\Ninto even our very, very tight budgets.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.09,0:05:43.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Eileen McDonough) We make a great effort\Nin our graduate and our undergraduate counsel
Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.10,0:05:52.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to make sure that faculty and deans are aware\Nthat in program design, in offering a new
Dialogue: 0,0:05:52.04,0:05:58.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,major, that they take into account that they\Nmight have to have specialized software available,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:58.06,0:06:06.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they have to build that into their program\Ndevelopment. And then to certainly just be
Dialogue: 0,0:06:06.02,0:06:13.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,aware of all the different ways that students\Ncan learn, to help faculty and deans understand
Dialogue: 0,0:06:13.08,0:06:17.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the concept of universal design.\N(Gerry Hanley) The first step really needs
Dialogue: 0,0:06:17.07,0:06:26.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to be an assessment of where we are, so we\Ncan then inform our planning process, develop
Dialogue: 0,0:06:26.01,0:06:31.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,plans, implement a project, and then really\Nassess the results of it.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:31.02,0:06:36.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Pablo Molino) Key to our approach to making\Nsure that our campus and our technology is
Dialogue: 0,0:06:36.04,0:06:41.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,accessible to people with disabilities, is\Nto ensure we do this by design. This is not
Dialogue: 0,0:06:41.07,0:06:48.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,an afterthought that we do after we have implemented\Na new classroom. Instead, this is something
Dialogue: 0,0:06:48.00,0:06:54.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we do from the initial conception of\Nnew project or idea. The same we would do
Dialogue: 0,0:06:54.00,0:06:57.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this for privacy and security, we do this\Nfor accessibility.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:57.00,0:07:02.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Bruce Maas) It is less costly, in the long\Nrun, to be thinking through the issues of
Dialogue: 0,0:07:02.10,0:07:09.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,accessibility comprehensively. Therefore,\Nhaving a plan for accessibility insures that
Dialogue: 0,0:07:09.06,0:07:16.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from the beginning we think through our issues\Nwith regard to the delivery of our services.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:16.05,0:07:23.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Doing so in a strategic way means that we\Ncan hold down costs over the long haul and
Dialogue: 0,0:07:23.00,0:07:28.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,actually deliver better services in the bargain.\N(Brady Deaton) It is very important that a
Dialogue: 0,0:07:28.01,0:07:36.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,university follows a policy and a process\Nthat is a can-do kind of process. It assumes
Dialogue: 0,0:07:36.02,0:07:40.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we are going to undertake the investments\Nthat we need, we're going to demonstrate the
Dialogue: 0,0:07:40.00,0:07:45.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,values that we need - that not only address\Nthe needs of students who may be challenged
Dialogue: 0,0:07:45.00,0:07:52.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with vision or hearing or other disabilities,\Nbut also draw on the technology that is not
Dialogue: 0,0:07:52.04,0:07:56.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,only exciting for those people who are developing\Nthe technology, it's intellectually exciting,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:56.06,0:08:01.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it provides new jobs for that matter and it\Nstimulates learning in so many parts of the
Dialogue: 0,0:08:01.07,0:08:08.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,university. So that attitude of the university\Nadministration, as well as faculty and staff
Dialogue: 0,0:08:08.04,0:08:13.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and students, becomes very, very important\Nbecause everyone gains from this. It's a win-win
Dialogue: 0,0:08:13.07,0:08:16.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,situation.\N(Tracy Mitrano) A policy really is an important
Dialogue: 0,0:08:16.04,0:08:22.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,way to go, because it will focus everyone's\Nattention. It's also probably the way that
Dialogue: 0,0:08:22.03,0:08:27.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you have to go now that there are legal pressures\Non higher education in this area. The second
Dialogue: 0,0:08:27.08,0:08:33.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thing I would say about policy is there are\Nreally two types in general. One is a policy
Dialogue: 0,0:08:33.06,0:08:38.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that you have because you have a law, for\Nexample, the Family Education Rights Privacy
Dialogue: 0,0:08:38.76,0:08:45.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Act Policy, so you want to be clear and sure\Nthat you're going to have compliance on your
Dialogue: 0,0:08:45.03,0:08:49.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,campus. There's another kind of policy that\NI would call aspirational policy and maybe
Dialogue: 0,0:08:49.90,0:08:55.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,accessibility fits a little bit in both but\Nyou most certainly can err on the aspirational
Dialogue: 0,0:08:55.69,0:09:01.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,side. An aspirational policy is something\Nyou establish for your institution as a path
Dialogue: 0,0:09:01.33,0:09:06.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,moving towards something, moving forward.\NIt does not have to have one hundred percent
Dialogue: 0,0:09:06.00,0:09:10.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,compliance because it's really a direction\Nthat you're setting strategically for your
Dialogue: 0,0:09:10.32,0:09:12.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,institution.\N(Gerry Hanley) I'd say another critical
Dialogue: 0,0:09:12.78,0:09:25.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,aspect around our strategy is a shared governance\Nstrategy. Because education is a shared responsibility
Dialogue: 0,0:09:25.10,0:09:34.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,across faculty, staff, students, venders,\Nall of us working together have to share in
Dialogue: 0,0:09:34.39,0:09:42.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that responsibility. Now, a shared governance\Nprocess means if you are responsible in delivering
Dialogue: 0,0:09:42.19,0:09:48.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the service, then you have an opportunity\Nto share in governing how we're going to
Dialogue: 0,0:09:48.02,0:09:52.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,manage the implementation of these services.\N(Brady Deaton) The administrators of the university
Dialogue: 0,0:09:52.63,0:09:57.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,must reflect the values that demonstrate the\Nimportance of this to the learning environment
Dialogue: 0,0:09:57.95,0:10:00.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it has to be built in then to every aspect\Nof what we do.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:00.78,0:10:04.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Michael Young) Right now we have a number\Nof projects and initiatives underway at the
Dialogue: 0,0:10:04.14,0:10:09.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,UW in which we're testing new technologies.\NAccessibility is an important consideration
Dialogue: 0,0:10:09.27,0:10:13.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in these evaluations. Many of the vendors\Nwe work with have completed
Dialogue: 0,0:10:13.08,0:10:18.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Voluntary Product Accessibility Templates\Nor VPATs, which offer a checklist of accessibility
Dialogue: 0,0:10:18.57,0:10:23.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,criteria and vendors' self-assessment as to\Nhow well they meet those criteria. It's a
Dialogue: 0,0:10:23.65,0:10:28.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,good starting point, but we go beyond that\Nto ask a vendor specific questions and to
Dialogue: 0,0:10:28.27,0:10:33.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,test their products with respect to accessibility.\N(Gerry Hanley) We begin with our vendors saying
Dialogue: 0,0:10:33.57,0:10:42.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(a) this is not only important, that this\Nis required for working with the CSU. Every
Dialogue: 0,0:10:42.31,0:10:48.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,student who comes into our institution, we\Nhave to provide equally effective access to
Dialogue: 0,0:10:48.10,0:10:55.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,those services and you are a partner in delivering\Nthose services to us. So we will tell you
Dialogue: 0,0:10:55.09,0:11:03.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what we need and then we will help you inform\Nyour staff, educate your staff, provide them
Dialogue: 0,0:11:03.09,0:11:10.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,some consultation and guidance in partnership\Nwith us, so you can deliver the successful
Dialogue: 0,0:11:10.70,0:11:13.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,service for us.\N(Pat Burns) So we work with our vendors to
Dialogue: 0,0:11:13.04,0:11:19.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,try to put pressure on them to make things\Naccessible. We actually have a purchasing
Dialogue: 0,0:11:19.02,0:11:26.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,process where we work through and ask the\Nissues about accessibility for software and
Dialogue: 0,0:11:26.05,0:11:31.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,hardware that we buy as well.\N(Bruce Maas) Individual efforts really need
Dialogue: 0,0:11:31.53,0:11:37.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to be able to scale well. If we go about things\Nin an ad hoc approach, one by one, we're not
Dialogue: 0,0:11:37.88,0:11:43.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,likely to get the same results as if we work\Ntogether as a community in higher education,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:43.09,0:11:48.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to work with vendors to improve accessibility\Nfor everyone with regard to the products that
Dialogue: 0,0:11:48.10,0:11:55.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are offered. That's a much more pragmatic\Napproach rather than institution by institution.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:55.27,0:12:02.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Gerry Hanley) Making accessibility a priority\Nin their development roadmap is going to be
