I would second Joseph's comments. It's a two-prong question. Is it on an
EDU domain? Yes, then must be accessible. No, then it depends on content
and use. If any information is related to student use, then the site should
be accessible. That's what we preach to faculty - any sites which they
include in their course information should be accessible.
