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

[Sean J Keegan]

> We are interested in finding out a bit about how institutions are

At Stanford, we have the following organizational structure:

  *
Director
  *
Senior Manager (also does some accessibility testing)
  *
Digital Accessibility Consulting Engineer (x2)
  *
Digital Accessibility Instructional Specialist

The Digital Accessibility Instructional Specialist role works in close collaboration with faculty and staff training offices, but is within our digital accessibility program.

The Office of Digital Accessibility is housed within University IT (central IT) and reports up through the Office of the CIO.

There is a separate Office of Accessible Education, which focuses on student academic accommodations and housing accommodations and is part of Student Affairs. And then we have a Diversity and Access Office, which focuses on employment and public accommodation topics and is part of Institutional Equity and Access.

Take care,
Sean
