Re: Seeking examples of universities with a centralized approach to accessibility/disability issues

At NC State University, instead of trying to change our institutional
structures, we opted for providing easier access points for people
wanting more information. We didn't want people to have to figure out
that if they had this type of accessibility question then it needed to
go to this group. We created two resources.

1. A simple landing page that covers all aspects of accessibility on
campus, no matter what aspect of accessibility you are referring to.
http://accessibility.ncsu.edu/

2. A single email address to use to ask questions if you don't know
who to ask. <EMAIL REMOVED> . A group of us monitor this email
address - it just creates a ticket in our help system.

I hope this helps.
