[Athen] staffing for technology accessibility

[Rovner, Amy]

We are a community college in NW Washington state.  We have about 5000FTE's per year.  I am an eLearning instructional designer who has taken on the additional role of Accessible IT Coordinator this year.  In this role, I'm leading an AT workgroup to bring our campus into compliance.  We are hoping to be able to hire some part time staff to help with our software testing, etc.  One of our goals for next fiscal year is to fund a 50% or 100% AT Specialist to take b/c we just don't have those skills between eLearning, DSS and IT.

Best,
Amy

So at Purchase College we have one Assistive Technology full-time person that works at the Office of Disabilities. Then you have me who works at the Campus Technology Services who serves as the unofficial AT person when they need help.

Last month the question was raised about how many staff members on your campus are focused on technology accessibility.  I only saw one response.  I am interested in the answer to this question also so would appreciate any information you can provide regarding staffing.

We currently have one full-time staff member and one 30% FTE.

Thank you.
