Org charts

Hi, all.

We have a large campus organization with lots of levels in their organization. They are building an org chart and want it to be accessible, web-based, not just an image or PDF. We suggested an unordered list, but it will likely have 5-6 levels of list hierarchy (does that make sense?) and they are concerned that it will be a jumbled mess for a screen reader user. Do you have any suggestions on good ways to do this? Any suggestions regarding how many list levels is acceptable?

Thanks!
Rachel
