Dear Alice,

I am the Academic Senate Chair at California State University, Long Beach.
It sounds like we are in a similar level of development as you. We are
currently moving from academic technology a primarily a supplemental tool to
a significant online delivery mode. We have just formed a committee to
develop standards for online course development that promote accessibility.
We will make this policy and enforce it. If you are interested in our
progress, I'll be glad to keep in touch.

Sincerely,
Wayne Dick, Ph.D

Department of Computer Engineering and Computer Science,
Chair Academic Senate,
California State University, Long Beach


PS. I have had low vision since birth. Print accessibility is a subject
near to my heart.
