UC Berkeley Committee will Focus on Digital Accessibility

UC Berkeley has a new high-level committee that will focus on making sure the campus’s digital infrastructure is accessible to everyone including blind staff who use screen readers ​and to deaf students who need captions to follow a video lecture.

The new Information Technology Accessibility Policy Advisory Committee will report directly to the Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost and bring campuswide decisions and issues straight to their attention. The goal is to make sure the accessibility of Berkeley’s digital properties is as high a priority as the accessibility of its buildings and programs.
