The Department of Education and Department of Justice have introduced new ADA Title II regulations requiring public entities, including colleges, to ensure all public-facing digital content meets accessibility standards. RCC must achieve compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA standards by April 2026 and your help is essential in reaching this goal.
The RCC Accessibility Committee is forming a Digital Accessibility Task Force and is seeking members to support this important initiative.
Why Join the Task Force?
- Make an Impact: Contribute to creating an inclusive digital environment where all students can succeed.
- Build Skills: Gain knowledge about digital accessibility and tools like YuJa Panorama, with faculty training beginning Winter 2025.
- Collaborate: Partner with colleagues who share a commitment to making RCC a welcoming and accessible institution.
Faculty and staff who regularly use digital content are especially encouraged to participate. Interested individuals can contact Andrew Childress on Teams or by phone at 541-956-7431.
