Accessible Technology Initiative
The purpose of ATI is to develop the work plan, guidance, and resources to assist campuses in carrying out the accessible technology provisions of EO 926.
CSU EO 926 states: “It is the policy of the CSU to make information technology resources and services accessible to all CSU students, faculty, staff and the general public regardless of disability.” This policy is premised on several federal and state laws mandating such accessibility.
The specifics of ATI is detailed in the coded memo AA-2007-04 (PDF) titled “Access to Electronic and Information Technology for Persons with Disabilities.”
CSU Chico’s Strategy
Successful implementation of the Accessible Technology Initiative (ATI) at CSU Chico will require campus-wide participation. The process has to be inclusive as it requires individual action by hundreds of faculty and staff. Oversight for ATI implementation will be the responsibility of the ATI Steering Committee whose primary task is to assure the Priority Teams have the support and resources they need to accomplish their tasks. There are three Priority Teams which represent the three ATI priorities:
- Web Accessibility
- Instructional Materials Accessibility
- Accessible Electronic and Information Technology Procurement
Though there will be challenges as we develop our strategies to implement the ATI university-wide, we certainly feel that we are ahead of the game due to our dedicated faculty and staff, Information Technology, and Disability Support Services programs.
