It depends on the kind of disability. This is the interweb, ya know?
Disabled could be no JS, or no vision, or no mouse... slow connection speed,
bad connectivity, no connectivity...
Yeah...
wait a minute .. slow connection speed is a problem (we hear from the people in
Pecos all the time) but it's not a disbility ;

not me. I am lost in the land of video + blackboard at the moment. And
IE7 still doesn not work. Also we will have to deal with an

Yeah, we disabled the IE7 update at our place, cuz it doesn't work with

What type of Blackboard problems are you having with IE7?
It works fine for me.

Sure, you can have all the bells and whistles you want to give to your

Which site? The Latin one?
All public facing sites are accessible; it is required by law as we are
a public institution.
However I don't deal with the public facing stuff, I deal with the
internal applications where the requirements are a little more lax.
However the application vendors know that it will be a requirement.
Right-o. I like the internal stuff too... you shall use X browser, if I tell
you to! I never do... one, I tried to require firefox for... sorta worked...
Eh.
Hey, what defines a public institution? (-- again, at anyone)
I guess if it's an intranet, doesn't matter, but do you have to get
money
We are state and federally funded directly. The University of Kentucky
is a public land grant institution. Most of our money comes from tax
payers and grants.
Basically if there is a government regulation it applies to us.
