<p class="xmsonormal">Doug Hayman wrote to me off list and suggested that I reach out to Terrell T at UW b/c they have already gone through a similar vetting process for their live sports and may have some good info to share with us about what product is more
accessible. At this point, even on that is willing to work towards greater accessibility.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">I’ll share the reply I received so quickly from Terrell at the end of this message. Sadly - no magic bullet. Even the “big boys” such as Stanford and Harvard are under pressure to make their sports websites more accessible. They use
a product for PAC-12 called Sidearm. He suggests that I write to ATHEN and EDUCAUSE list servs which I will do.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">Since I sent the email to CATO, I did receive a message from our Synergy rep with information that they have been purchased by Sportrader and they want to know the requirements we are under to gather VPAT.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">She wrote: “Our acquiring company Sportradar needs to understand the VPAT more and I’ve told them about clients like Shoreline that are mandated by the state to provide a VPAT to their Tech Support depts. I wonder If you have a document
you could provide me that shows the requirements you are under to gather the VPAT? I have certainly gone to websites and see the explanation but I wanted to know from your perspective, the state or federal requirements you are under.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">Good, I guess, that she’s asking and letting the new company know we are bound by state requirements. But also weird to ask when it’s obvious from federal law.

<p class="xmsonormal">Sigh – so time consuming and thankless. <o:p></o:p></p>

</span>Synergy Sports for accessibility because it is up for renewal at Clark. From what I’ve found so far with screen-reader and screen magnification testing, I have to say it’s likely not going to pass here at Clark based just on the UI. I haven’t even
gotten around to verifying that the vids are captioned, or if the product has the ability to provide a captioner / interpreter for live videos, but that is on my list for this product.<o:p></o:p></p>

from our TSS department. Please send us an update of the Access requirement that we communicated to you last year, so we can determine if we can continue using this product via approval from our TSS department. ”</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="background:white"><span class="xxcontentpasted0"><span style="color:black">Their reply was classic – “</span></span><span style="color:black">I see that both programs are able to access your Synergy Sports Accounts and are using them currently, so

<p class="xmsonormal">Anyway - not sure what to do this year. Clearly nothing has changed And coaches want to use it yesterday of course and Synergy wants us to pay for it.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="xmsonormal">My ultimate question is probably better for the Accessible IT folks for each campus- what platform(s) are other colleges using for this work. I often hear, “it’s what all the colleges in the division are using.”<o:p></o:p></p>
