FYI! This is important to pay attention to! I will be receiving further updates from my contacts at the Office for Civil Rights in about a month or so about directions for public comments and will share what I learn.

Justice Department and the Department of Education Issue Joint Dear Colleague Letter on the Online Accessibility of Colleges, Universities, and Other Postsecondary Institutions
05/19/2023

On May 19, 2023, the Justice Department and the Department of Education jointly issued a Dear Colleague Letter reminding colleges, universities, and other postsecondary institutions to ensure that their online services, programs, and activities are accessible to people with disabilities. Many colleges, universities, and other postsecondary institutions increasingly rely on their websites and third-party online platforms to provide services, programs, and activities to members of the public including learning platforms, podcasts and videos, and third-party platforms like YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts. The letter reiterates that Title II of the ADA and Section 504 require colleges, universities, and other postsecondary institutions to provide equal opportunities to people with disabilities in all their operations and highlights recent web accessibility enforcement activities and technical assistance.
