New Web Accessibility Policy aims to eliminate barriers
The University has introduced its new Web Accessibility Policy, designed to ensure all official University web pages and University-related web pages are accessible to people with a diverse range of hearing, movement, sight and cognitive ability. The goal is for all users to be able to acquire the same information, engage in the same interactions and enjoy the same services, regardless of any disability they might have.
Because BGSU websites and web applications are integral to the University’s academic and administrative work, it is important that all BGSU students, faculty and staff are aware of the policy and its standards, which affirm BGSU’s commitment to diversity and inclusion across all platforms.
Anyone responsible for updating and working on any of the University web pages should have received a separate email with mandatory training information. All content managers are required to attend a web accessibility training. Failure to take part in a training by Nov. 20 will result in the cancellation of web management privileges until training is complete.
