[Athen] higher ed accessible it policies?

[Ron Stewart]

If folks want any of the background on the Oregon State work please contact
me directly, it took six years to get this policy adopted and it is very
different that what was originally proposed.  You can also find supporting
materials at: http://tap.oregonstate.edu/standards.htm

This information is very likely to disappear in the near future.  Oregon
State is closing down the TAP project effective December 29th, and my former
position is going away.

Oregon State's guidelines are the most comprehensive I've seen in a higher
ed institution, including hardware, software, multimedia, and web:
