On April 8, 2024, the Department of Justice published a new rule on digital accessibility under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), directly impacting public higher education institutions. This rule requires that most of the university’s digital content be accessible. Additional information about that ruling can be found at: https://www.ada.gov/resources/2024-03-08-web-rule

The W is committed to making its web and digital resources accessible to all users. More information about campus ADA Website Compliance may be found at: https://www.muw.edu/ctl/ada-website-compliance/. We encourage all individuals to familiarize themselves with the terms and resources available on this site.

Please stay tuned for future announcements regarding ADA Compliance.
