[Athen] IT Accessibility roles - how are you structured?

[Korey J Singleton]

Hi Jeff,

At Mason, the Assistive Technology Initiative Office has the following roles:


  *   AT Specialist
  *   Accessible Media Coordinator
  *   Accessible Text Coordinator
  *   IT Accessibility Coordinator

I manage the office. We report directly to the Associate VP/ADA & Title IX Coordinator in the Office for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. That individual reports directly to the VP/Chief Diversity Officer, who in turn reports to the University President.

We work very closely with a number of units, ITS and Disability Services chief among them, but no other roles related to AT or accessibility exist at our institution.

Hello ATHEN Community,

We are interested in finding out a bit about how institutions are organizing IT Accessibility roles within your educational institutions. Are they housed within your IT infrastructure? Are they a part of compliance teams? If any of you would be willing to share we would love to hear.
