Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,perspective, or an opportunity to work here\Nat this institution. We benefit from that
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because we get to enjoy the talents and the\Nskills of those people who come in, and also
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,their perspective, which in many cases will\Nbe different from the perspective of others
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on campus. So accessibility becomes a very\Nimportant value at the university.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,sometimes some of us concentrate in the technical side of the house only
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we forget that finally the technology is to serve the people.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Pete Siegel) Compliance is extremely important. Compliance is the law.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But that isn't the motivator for most of us at universities.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a place they want to learn, a place where they can thrive.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Michael Young) Universal design is a very\Npowerful concept because what it means is
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we look at the issue of accessibility at the\Noutset rather than buying something or engaging

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,cheaper and more efficient, it likely makes\Nit much better in terms of both the quality

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Tracy Mitrano) I think the other direction \Nthat colleges and universities could and should\Ntake
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is to think about accommodation as really the beginning of the conversation about disability.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was the appropriate measure that was \Ntaken in the Americans with Disabilities Act\Nthat was passed in 1990
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that's well over a generation ago.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think now we really have to think less about how we're going to measure specifically this accommodation or that accommodation
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and recognize that we can make accessibility \Nopen and available
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so that individual staff, faculty or students do not have to go to get an accommodation.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It will be automatically available in the webpage that they visit, in the device that they use.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Brady Deaton) We envision a campus that has \Na concept of universal design in all aspects\Nof information technology,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that a student is not impeded in any way,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but in fact, that technology is utilized not only directly by those who benefit because of certain challenges\Nthey may have,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but also is illustrative to the broader student body and to the faculty and to alums
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about what an inclusive learning environment is.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Pete Seigel) We have some things we have \Nto learn in order to move into accessibility\Nspace,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but the basic goals and the basic values are things we already know and love.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then we bring in things like universal design,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the notion that if we design things well right\Nfrom the start, they actually aren't more expensive.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is something that we can fit\Ninto even our very, very tight budgets.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Eileen McDonough) We make a great effort\Nin our graduate and our undergraduate counsel
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to make sure that faculty and deans are aware\Nthat in program design, in offering a new major,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that they take into account that they might have to have specialized software available,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they have to build that into their program\Ndevelopment.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then to certainly just be aware of all the different ways that students can learn,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to help faculty and deans understand the concept of universal design.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Gerry Hanley) The first step really needs to be an assessment of where we are,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so we can then inform our planning process, develop plans, implement a project,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then really assess the results of it.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Pablo Molino) Key to our approach to making\Nsure that our campus and our technology is
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,accessible to people with disabilities, is\Nto ensure we do this by design.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is not an afterthought that we do after we have implemented a new classroom.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Instead, this is something that we do from the initial conception of a new project or idea.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The same way we do this for privacy and security, we do this for accessibility.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Bruce Maas) It is less costly, in the long\Nrun, to be thinking through the issues of accessibility comprehensively.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Therefore, having a plan for accessibility insures that from the beginning we think through our issues
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with regard to the delivery of our services.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Doing so in a strategic way means that we\Ncan hold down costs over the long haul
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and actually deliver better services in the bargain.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Brady Deaton) It is very important that a university follows a policy and a process that is a can-do kind of process.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It assumes that we are going to undertake the investments that we need,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we're going to demonstrate the values that we need,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that not only address the needs of students who may be challenged with vision or hearing or other disabilities,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but also draw on the technology that is not only exciting for those people who are developing\Nthe technology,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's intellectually exciting, it provides new jobs for that matter,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it stimulates learning in so many parts of the university.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that attitude of the university administration, as well as faculty and staff and students,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,becomes very, very important because everyone gains from this. It's a win-win situation.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Tracy Mitrano) A policy really is an important way to go, because it will focus everyone's attention.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's also probably the way that you have to go now that there are legal pressures on higher education in this area.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The second thing I would say about policy is there are\Nreally two types in general.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One is a policy that you have because you have a law,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for example, the Family Education Rights Privacy Act Policy.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So you want to be clear and sure that you're going to have compliance on your campus.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's another kind of policy that I would call aspirational policy and maybe accessibility fits a little bit in both
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but you most certainly can err on the aspirational side.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,An aspirational policy is something you establish for your institution as a path moving towards something, moving forward.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It does not have to have one hundred percent compliance
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it's really a direction that you're setting strategically for your institution.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Gerry Hanley) I'd say another critical aspect around our strategy is a shared governance strategy.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because education is a shared responsibility
