In fairness to ASU, mentioned in the first article (and where I work): at
least the website is not too shabby in terms of accessibility. We are # 35,
in contrast, say, to Harvard.

Accessibility of the website has been a priority for ASU since the days when
the main web server was a Mac 6100 "pizza box." Could be better, but
accessibility is still considered important.

With the exception of the Facebook student group, to be sure!
