<div>Saw this article in the Boston Globe by the President of NFB of Massachusetts.  He writes about the fact that ACE (American Council on Education) has been lobbying Congress not to pass the TEACH Act because of the burden that regulations around Accessible
 Instructional Materials would put on universities!</div>
