[CATO] Vector Solutions and accessibility?

[Hanscom, Michael]

Hi all,

Highline (and I believe all of you as well) uses Vector Solutions (formerly Get Inclusive) for both employee and student-facing training. I know that a year ago Monica sent an update to CATO about accessibility improvements that Get Inclusive had made, but that was while the transition to Vector Solutions was just getting started.

I just got a (third- or fourth-hand) report that our VP of EDI heard through the Diversity and Equity Officers Commission (DEOC) that Vector Solutions "is completely inaccessible and the colleges shouldn't be using it" (quoting what I was told, which is likely a paraphrase of what the VP said, which is likely a paraphrase of what was said at DEOC...etc.).

Is there any good current information on the accessibility of Vector Solutions' training offerings? This is everything I know at this point, and that "completely inaccessible" judgement could cover everything from Vector Solutions itself being a problem to VS providing a platform that may or may not be okay, but the particular trainings in question haven't been built with accessibility in mind.

Thanks!
